Well, this has been on my To Read list for a long while now - along with 104 other stories. But if I had known that Spitfire is listed as one of the major characters I'd have read it much sooner, since it was a (somewhat specific) search of Spitfire stories that led me here again.
Anyway, I just read the first two chapters and I must say that your writing style is very much to my liking. The everypony scene in the first chapter was very enjoyable, the narration is to the point but still rich, and you're not afraid to use dashes, italics for emphasis and (gasp) semicolons correctly. Very nice indeed to see grammar and style used so well to convey the story in an effective way.
And since it's pretty late here already I'll have to read the other chapters tomorrow, but that gives me the privilege of suspense and pretending having to wait for more chapters. So far there was no Spitfire in sight - is she gonna be a Lt. Hawkeye grade badass? Will she even get shipped with someone good (like Twilight? dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Twilight_Sparkle_lolface.png ) Romance seems to be a popular theme in this story already. I also never much cared for Battlestar Galactica, but I'm a huge Stargate fan and those series had seen their fair share of rusty spaceships with limited resources. Oh, the places this story could go ... But I'm sure you'll have thought of something good.
Also, this story is waaaaaay too underread for its quality.
