Good afternoon, I'm a simple brony who loves writing stories. I have big ideas, but I never express them. I'm just hoping that this will be where I CAN express them.

A FedEx cargo plane is en route from a cargo drop off, when out of no where, something extraordinary happens.

Never heard of a jumbo jet make it into a HiE story :moustache:

*like*

DHL is based in Europe. They don't fly 737s to Detroit. The only 737s they have are -200SF models that can't fly farther than about 3500 KM and stay in Europe. Their flights in the US are either international or chartered through ABX Air, which only flies 767s and used to fly DC-8s.

327784 Thanks a bunch! So, uh, what does HiE stand for? :rainbowhuh:

327795

Your joking right? :duck:

:facehoof:

Human in Equestria

327786 Thanks. I'll be sure to adjust my story to your logic, which I hope is true.

327803 Dude I made my account like 4 days ago, and I started this story today. I don't know much.

327784 If it's a 737, it's not a jumbo jet.

327806 I'm an airplane nut. I'm picky about these things. You might want to change the operator to FedEx, which has a much greater presence in the US, as well as smaller planes like the 727-100F, 727-200F, ATR 42F, ATR 72F, and 757-200F that fly domestic routes and can be used for this story more easily. A 767-200SF or -300F crash-landing in Equestria would flatten half of Ponyville.

327786
Yeah, thought the same thing.
327784
I've considered doing it.

327857 Error; File: "INFORMATION_PROCESSOR.EXE" in "Brain.DRIVE" has crashed due to information overload.

327857 I didn't mean for it to crash land in Ponyville. I meant for the Wonder Bolts to stop the plane by flying in to the nose, which I presume would cause the engines to blow, correct me if I'm wrong, and then Twilight, atop sugar cube corner, would use her magic to safely set the craft down in a field just out of town.

327931 Them flying into the engines would do that, but the engines are on the wings, not in the nose. Also, she struggled to lift an Ursa Minor with her magic, so I doubt she'd have a very easy time picking up a jet about 15 times the size of that.

327958 The civil version(L-100) is in very limited use, and I can only think of one carrier that does use it, that being a charter carrier in northern Canada, so probably not unless you intended to use the regular military C-130.

327968 Looking over your logic and doing some slight research of my own, I realize you made me have to re-do chapters 2 & 3. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just funny how you technically owned me with logic.

Alright. Changes planned: Change DHL 737 to FedEx 727-100QF. Changes to be implemented tonight.

Also, if the name and aircraft in question is changed, you might want to change the cover image to a FedEx 727 as well. I'd send you a picture I took of one that definitely isn't copyrighted, but that one's a 727-200.

I don't care for chapter lengths, this story is so far great! :pinkiehappy:

Dude, you're making my update page freak out with all these revisions :pinkiegasp:

But seriously, I like where this story is going and I'm available if you need technical assistance in the future. I do a lot of stuff with planes in my day job, and I have lots of free time. Send me a message.

Chapter 2: Just as the plane goes through the white rectangle, you use refer to it as a DHL plane

Just a friendly reminder.

>No need for delivery, I'll come to you!

I'm a pilot myself. Well, I like it, but I don't get how he gets there.:rainbowhuh: you know, the part with the dude who can somehow teleport things.

329260 My explanation for Matt's powers is that he was struck by lightning one day while standing next to a high voltage transformer outside of a car factory. Apparently, a pipe carrying fluids over the transformer had cracked due to the wind of the thunderstorm, and leaked on to the transformer. All I can tell you about the liquid was it was acidic. Not acidic enough to melt the pipe, but acidic enough to get through the transformer's plating, where it was then inside the main components. It was then Matt was struck by the lightning as he was walking by the transformer.

330414 Haha. You got something better?

331115 He went insane trying to get away from the Pegasi.

It was insanity, not unintelligence.

331516
You're right. His copilot's the idiot.

331585 His unintelligence is true, and for comedic purposes.

327786 Okay, I've been thinking about making this comment, and I decided not to. But now, I think I should.

They way I was saying the engines would blow from the plane stopping so fast is, *deep breath* the air resistance of the blades in the engine moving at a fast enough speed to propel the aircraft at 500 knots while the aircraft being still would cause the blades to snap and be sucked into the engines, which would thus cause them to blow. Does that make sense?

328078 So, if you 100% approve of my story, why are you giving me suggestions to make it better?

333880 There have been plenty of cases where a plane had a sudden stop that didn't destroy the engines. For example, the Etihad A340-600 that crashed during an engine runup test had almost no damage to the engines after the crash.

328213 You giving me a proper picture of a FedEx 727-100QF for the cover would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

334802 The only one I have is a -200F that I saw at Des Moines in October, but I did find this:
null on Airliners.net.

This is fricking awesome. We need a more shipment, in at least 28 days.

cupcakes ftw. :pinkiecrazy: plz MOAAAAAAAAAAAAR :flutterrage:/

Please no cupcakes references. That story is traumatizing enough!

338199 Alright, I'll tone it down :raritywink:

You did NOT just write that.:twilightangry2:

Cuuuuuuuuuuupcaaaaaaakes! :pinkiecrazy:

I don't see what the big deal is about "Cupcakes".I found it disturbing, but I think most of hype is unnecessary.
:pinkiehappy:love this so far

Mind if I act like an obnoxious critic for one moment?

No?

Well :fuckyouIdowhatiwant:

This is going by just a little to fast. Two days in and we already have the CMC brought into the storyline :trixieshiftleft:
