AIRBUS gained only their fifth point of the season but Connah's Quay were kicking themselves after allowing a two-goal lead to slip away.
Simon Andrews opened his account for the Wingmakers and became the first Airbus forward to score this season when he broke through on goal after 20 minutes to loft the ball over Craig Bryan in the Nomads' goal.
But hitman Tommy Mutton levelled almost immediately when he took advantage of hesitation by Dodd and Hopkins in the home defence.
Two goals in a three minute spell before the break from veteran Stuart Rain appeared to have given the visitors a decisive advantage.
Jon Kenworthy was upended by Dodd and Rain slotted home the spot kick before heading another from a cross.
Richard Smart gave Airbus hope with a 20-yarder five minutes from time before substitute Steve Hughes produced a dramatic late strike to square the scoreline.
