Meanwhile, John is working with his brothers and Abbie’s father to get the plane ready for the announcement. The men are attaching the numbers to the bottom of the plane. This all has to do with the revelation plan. In the Counting On clip, John Duggar explains that each guest will have a pink or blue “boarding pass”.

When the plane passes, guests will have to compare the numbers on the boarding pass with the numbers on the underside of the plane. The plane will pass several times.
