Lol. I read that title as "Cholk and the Airplane". Cholks are the little wedges of wood/plastic, or bits of rope, put at the wheels of parked aircraft to stop them rolling away.

(Rope cholks are more cool because you can throw them as a wheel from a distance rather than climb under a wing.)

"Chocks", not "cholks".
