WINGS OVER EQUESTRIA
Prolouge
Its been three years since the last great epidemic in equestria, discord's escape, and since then modernization has really bucked up a notch. New machines were being developed, Cars, Planes, and Boats, have been developed so much in fact that ponies that normally could never see each other because of distance, were now as close together as your next door neighbor. At first I thought this new modern way of living was cool, but then I saw it, and heard it, a great loud BOOM, it had a familiar sound to it and just as I tried to remember that familiar noise I saw it, a speeding grey streak rocketing across the sky. I immediately took to the skies and pursued the grey blur, I, now an experienced flyer and a member of the wonderbolts, easily accelerated towards the speed of sound, I was about to hit a sonic rainboom, and I still didn't catch up to the now barley visible blur. Then right before I broke the sound barrier it hit me,
"that thing is flying faster than the speed of sound" I told myself
I broke the sound barrier sending a vibrant array of colors strait over all of ponyville. The sudden burst of color must have alerted the still unidentifiable object, for after I did the rainboom the object suddenly slowed down, I was now hurdling at it at the speed of sound, the once barly visible spec in the sky, was now getting closer and closer, I slowed down as not to pass the grey shape in the sky. I finally got close enough to see what looked like a plane. I could see the pilot he was looking back at me, wearing some sort of helmet and mask, then he sped up, again surpassing my limits. I gave up on chasing the strange aircraft, and slowed to a hover, I wondered with awe at what that aircraft was.
Chapter 1
The equestrian air force, my new goal, to become an airforce pilot, ever since I saw my first jet 2 years ago, the amazing speed these machines could achieve and their amazing maneuverability, I loved it. They introduced the airforce a bit later than a year ago, and I immediately wanted to join, so I signed up.
My first day of flight training is today, I've been on the ground studying and going through physical tests for too long, I had flown planes before but those were just to get me in the air, and learn the basics of flying. But today I was flying an actual training jet, capable of going well past the speed of sound.
I got to the runway and met my flight instructor, he looked as if he should've retired from any line of work long ago,
" you ready to fly rookie."
