war stories from equestria

My name is Ace Dash.  I'm a Pegasus.  I graduated from flight school 6 months ago.  I was one of the top flyers, exceeding my pass limit with flying colors.  I'm currently in the equestrian air force.  I am the leader of Lightning squad.  We specialize in gun runs and other strike missions.  We got word the other day that the communist pony federation would be making an advance and we were on standby just incase they did.

I wanted to make sure that I was ready, so I gathered up my squad and we prepared for the "catshot".  We lined up on the run way.  I fluttered my wings and got ready to launch.  I was first in the air,and my sqaud fell in behind me.  We practised some basic manoeuvres as well as combat training.  We complete our practise and flew back down to the tarmac

.  The next day our sergeant informed us that the communists, had began there attack.  So we strapped up with P314 miniguns.  Once again, we lined up on the tarmac.  Once we were in the air, the sun was shining in our direction.  This caused me to look down, and then I saw something.  It looked like some enemy ponies laying mines on the ground.  I informed my squad that I would fly down and strafe the enemy ponies.  I swooped down and I lit up the ground beneath my hooves.  I ascended back up to  to rejoin my squad mates.

  The communists were gathering there armor and heading towards the ground ponies.  I saw a vehicle cross the path of the mines and they exploded, damaging the vehicle enough for ponies to start tumbling out.  We were in enemy airspace so we returned to base and grounded our selves, after all there wasn't much we could do.  We later got reports that the communists were retreating and that we might need to go back into the air if enemy air was spotted
