As soon as Duskwing-3 felt and heard the sudden silence of his engines flaming out, he extended his flaps to lengthen his glide and let momentum carry him past the evil Prime, over the meteor, and just past the lip of the crater--
He wondered for a few moments whose and what weird power put out his engines, but then the big red blinking "FUEL TANK: EMPTY!" warning in his alarms clued him in. "Oh slag, whadda rookie mistake!"
As he ran out of lift, Duskwing-3 transformed--and found out he didn't have enough energy to run his lifters. The landing was awkward; he hit the ground too fast and tumbled boot-thrusters over intakes, denting and scraping his wings. Not far from where his counterpart left bits of himself all over the desert floor thanks to Override, Duskwing-3 staggers to his feet.
He looks around, trying to figure out where he his, where everyone else is. His guns are intact, one bomb launcher is jammed, the other is empty--but Duskwing has no energy to speak of.
Nothing to do but walk for it. But where to?
// Hey, anybody know where the repair station is? // Duskwing-3 asks plaintively on the Allied radio.
Too bad it was during Stalker's intermittent jamming.

Duskwing-3 is up on the rim of the crater somewhere, but not next to Kup-3/Springer or Holi/Barricade-3/Duskwing.
