kit cloudkicker

Kit Cloudkicker is the navigator aboard Baloo's plane, the Goose. He first appeared in the pilot episode, "Plunder and Lightning". His trademark appearances are the green hoodie, the blue baseball cap with a red dot on it backwards, and his ability to surf on clouds. The baseball cap was a gift from Baloo as a token of friendship and trust. He is a 12-year-old orphan who was with the Air Pirates commanded by Don Karnage, a year before the series' story begins. Kit's character is unique in Disney history - he had a dark past due to being like Don Karnage's "little protégé". According to the story, he says that he got tired of being with them, he met Baloo when he was hiding in the Goose to escape from the Air Pirates because they were looking for him because of betrayal. His dream is to become a pilot and have his own plane. Occasionally displaying a selfish streak, Kit puts his own dreams before those of his friends. Kit's distrust of adults was apparent on the show. However, he viewed the other members of the High Flights troupe as a surrogate family. Kit affectionately refers to Baloo as "Papa Bear". He clearly showed his affection for Rebecca Cunningham's daughter on a few occasions during the show, being seen playing horsey with Molly, and on one occasion rescuing her using the air glider. The nickname "Little Cub" was given to him by Baloo. In the episode "Stormy Weather", Kit got upset with Baloo by saying "You can't tell me what to do! You're NOT my dad!", at the end of the episode he regretted saying that. Kit has the ability to surf through the clouds using a crescent-shaped metal device called a skyglider and a rope attached to the back.
