When Dusty crashed in the Pacific Ocean and was taken to Mexico City Airport by the Mexican Coast Guard, he was given spare parts from the racers to help him get back in the Wings Around the Globe Rally.

While Dottie repaired him, Chug watched some of Ripslinger's races, and figured out that before every victory, Ripslinger turns to his right side so the cameras can get good photos of him. During the final leg, Dusty fought Ned and Zed, while Skipper took on Ripslinger. After Ned and Zed got stuck between each other in between two rocks, Dusty caught up to Ripslinger when he was close to the finish line, and when Ripslinger leaned to his side, and Dusty saw the chance he was looking for, and sped by Ripslinger at the last second. He even conquered his fear of heights and flew higher in the sky.

In his turbo design, Dusty is equipped with a four-bladed Sky Slicer Mark 5 propeller and two T33 wings.

The blue stripes on his wings are changed back to black. The white at the bottom back of him is changed to orange, and his front is changed from orange and white to gray. His vertical stabilizer and tailplane additionally have a bit of gray. The orange on Dusty's wings is removed and put on the ends.
