Just a quick character concept: 'Wild Wing 'Warhawk' ' · 7:55pm Aug 12th, 2014
Just to stuff this character concept somewhere so I don't forget it if I ever use it.
Wild Wing is/was the captain of the Wonderbolts, for all of five minutes. The crazy-assed pegasus was promoted ahead of Spitfire before he took off, following a prank by Celestia talking about a non-existent griffon air force threat.
Wild Wing now travels about the world, ever in persuit of the existential griffon threat, commandeering Equestrian military resources and supplies at every turn. Even going so far as to pull the leadership of the Wonderbolts right out from under Spitfire whenever he makes it back to Home Base, at least until he takes off again.
Celestia has failed to inform him the 'threat' was a joke, and nopony can convince him it isn't real. His rank above Spitfire is... Unfortunately, real, and Celestia has ALSO neglected to remedy that.
W3 is based off John Belushi's character 'Wild Wing' Bill Kelso from the movie 1941, and would even share the movie's Leit Motif.
As far as my 'planes to pegasi' outlook, Wild Wing is a P-40 Warhawk to complement Spitfire's... Spitfire.
Reminds me (having not watched the source inspiration) of a cross between Don Quixote and several characters in Dr. Strangelove. Would make for a great comedy!

Well, there's the youtube links in the blog post. You can see just out Thestral-apples insane he really is.
Maybe, but you'd think that someone of the Wonderbolts, or any authority that he has commandeered, would have complained to Celestia by now...

Ahh, we hear from the elusive Admiral himself once more!
I mean, side from the other Admiral.
Are we starting a Royal Fimfic Navy somewhere, I wonder?
Oh sweet Jesus, I can't wait for this story. Just seeing those clips makes me realize it's going to be hilarious.
On a different note, I need to thank you for the whole "Planes to Pegasi" thing. Now every time I look in detail at aircraft, I wonder how they would look and act as Pegasi. Things like the Komet, the F-89, and the Ta 152H.
