Only enough fuel is left for a 15-minute flight to signal the Navy searching for the lost pack. This means testing to see who among them would be best to fly it for help. That person ironically turns out to be <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Gilligan%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Gilligan%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BGilligan%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-14712874545f609ddf0fb1f" href="/wiki/Gilligan" title="Gilligan">Gilligan</a>. The Professor's plan is to have him shoot straight up over the island to alert the Navy looking for the pack off shore, but when Gilligan is overhead and listening to the radio, he hears the Navy report of U.F.O. in the area, not realizing that he is the UFO, getting scared and entering a cloud where the jet pack exhaust causes rain, dismissing the Navy search. Some time after the rain storm, the Professor somehow manages to synthesize a substitute fuel for the pack, but before he can explain his plan to the Skipper, Gilligan takes the pack to try once more going for help to make up for his blunder, but this time, he forgets to strap himself in and it blasts off without him into the sky. </p> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Cast</h2> <p
