On the eve of the qualifying round, Dusty learned from the glorious old Navy aircraft Skiper, but was rejected. Although Dusty's ugly appearance was ridiculed by the audience as soon as he appeared, he stumbled into the race. Skipper was moved by Dusty's sincerity and decided to become his military adviser. However, in training, Dusty exposed a fatal weakness-fear of heights. At JFK Airport, Dusty befriended Chopacabra from Mexico, who was pursuing the beautiful French Canadian racing plane Rochelle, but the proud Rochelle dismissed Chopacabra. At the same time, Dusty also met the Indian beauty Isani and fell in love.
In the New York to Iceland stage, Dusty fell to last place due to fear of heights. The German stage Dusty showed good sportsmanship and saved a distressed participating aircraft, but he still ranked last. The Indian stage Dusty and Isani's relationship has cracked. In the Shanghai stage, Dusty helped Chopacabra win Rochelle's heart. Dusty’s competitive qualities and flying speed gradually rivaled the ever-victorious general Rip Slinger, but Rip Slinger did everything he could to prevent Dusty from winning the game.
In the Trans-Pacific stage, Lipslinger sent his left and right hands to secretly destroy Dusty's navigator. Lost in the vast ocean, Dusty magically encountered a U.S. Navy battleship, where he found old photos of Skipper, and he had lied about his past. Dusty was badly injured and discouraged. He planned to quit the game for a while, but his fighting spirit was rekindled with the encouragement of his friends. In the end, Dusty finally overcomes his fear of heights and competes with Lips Linger.
