Ripslinger is one of the contestants in the Wings Around the Globe racing competition. One of the most legendary names in racing, Ripslinger gets his wins by simply eliminating his competition. Once Dusty, whom Ripslinger calls Rusty, enters the competition, Ripslinger continues to pick on him about being a crop duster, and not fit for racing of any kind. He usually requires assistance from his two dumbstruck sidekicks Ned and Zed, who help Ripslinger destroy the other competitors.

Ripslinger hates Dusty Crophopper, a crop-dusting plane who wants to compete in the race but is seriously afraid of heights, out of the fact that he thinks that planes not specifically built for racing (like Dusty) should not be allowed to race. Because of this, Ripslinger along with Ned and Zed plot to disqualify Dusty by cheating in every race.

In the movie, Ripslinger first appears at Lincoln Airport as a special guest for the qualifying rounds for the Wings Around the Globe Rally. When Dusty tries out he is doubtful that a farmer he called him can't be able to race. But when he takes off he is somehow stunned and surprised from his performance.

Dusty loses his second race in Germany to save a British plane named Bulldog from suffering from an oil leak, much to Ripslinger's delight. He commends that he's a nice guy but refers that nice guys finish last. But as Dusty begins to win more and more races during the competition and falling in love with an Indian plane named Ishani, Ripslinger becomes more and more jealous of the crop duster. So as a result during a race over the Pacific Ocean, Ripslinger orders Ned and Zed to destroy Dusty's navigation antenna in order to make him lose communication from the other racers and therefore making him get lost.

At Mexico, Ripslinger shows little regard with the reporters of the disappearance of Dusty Crophopper. He pretends to cry and then commented that he hoped Dusty made a better boat than a plane. He is confronted by El Chupacabra and Ishani, who said that Dusty is ten times the racer he'll ever be and they condemn his actions.

After he is given spare parts from the other racers including Bulldog, Ishani and El Chupacabra due to crashing into the ocean during a storm, Ripslinger and his henchplanes then try to attack both Dusty and Skipper on the way to the finish line of the final race, and once he thinks that he had finally gotten rid of Dusty once and for all, Ripslinger strikes a pose in front of the audience only for Dusty to overtake him and win the race without him noticing. But by the time Ripslinger knew what was going on he forgets about where he is going, he ends up crashing into some portable toilets and landing in a pile of sludge. Because of this, Ripslinger's arrogance and cruel behavior ultimately led to his downfall and was called "Ripstinker" by Roper.
