ReapersSprint


T

Captain Garrick is sent to test out the military's newest F-40 Vertical Take Off and Landing Fighter Jet with his co-pilot 1st Sgt.Marshall. Garrick is well known for pushing Jets to the limit, so he decided he'd attempt his most dangerous maneuver. However, the results were...unexpected...

hmm this isnt bad ill keep this tracked though as a reminder a jet can break the sound barrier without flying downward rainbow dash can only break the sound barrier when flying down at a 90 degree angle so that means that a jet can fly alot faster than Rainbow dash, just a side note for realism's sake, anyway great story keep up the great work :pinkiehappy:

150279

Yea, I had to change that around a little in the first chapter. I made sure to note that Sgt.Garrick was sure they had already broken the sound barrier awhile back. I've had to look up a few things to make sure I'm not creating something TOO unrealistic in regards to the Jet. Well, as realistic as you can be ending up in Equestria that is.

When it said where the guy was kicked I felt it too :derpyderp1:

150311 cool the fact that you are researching this shows your dedication to writing a good story I cant wait to see more chapters and the jet doesn't seem unrealistic at all from what i remember reading but im not a master at modern tech im more a world war 2 type of guy :derpytongue2: :pinkiehappy:

150279 Actually, if you recall, RD's first sonic rainboom was not at 90 degrees, but more around 75 or 80. But the point still stands that she has to be going at a steep downwards angle to perform one, whereas some jets could break the sound barrier while moving at an upward angle.

Amused, looking forwards to more.

jesus christ this is like the 5th storie i've read where a human gets bucked in the balls. also thats gota hurt :fluttershbad:

This is really good so far, the chapters are too short though.:applejackunsure: Anyway, I really look forward to reading more of this story!:yay:

Goddamnit Reapers you asked if you could use my name knowing I'd be the one who got bucked in the balls.
:raritywink:

Yeah! Update! This is good and I look forward to reading more!:pinkiehappy:

Sergeants and Privates flying in an air wing?

Sure, why not? They're just test piloting it, not taking it into battle. I really didn't feel like being specific with the ranks seeing as it is a tiny part of the story.

At the beginning, all I could think was, "Callin it out! Garrick's a brony!"

Author, I am dissapoint.

Aside from the fact that there isn't the hilarity of a brony and a non brony in Equestria, this is quite interesting so far.

Can never be too sure, you know how closet Bronies are.:trollestia:

>>ReapersSprint FIMFICTION! Y U NO GIVE SQUEE EMOTICON? Oh well, this'll have to do:yay::rainbowkiss:

Fortunately, the character are not quite introduced enough to make it impossible, so making Garrick a closet brony could still make sense at this point, since he could be pretending to not know anything about Equestria.

dayum man maybe you should have the two use the jet again in a race between rd and the two

i found it strange that rainbow dash didn't relate the military to the royal guards, well anyway keep up the good work :pinkiehappy:

Yeah update! This is great, keep it up!:pinkiehappy:

off to a good start :pinkiehappy:

This story is great so far :yay: yay!
need MOAR :pinkiehappy:

Airforce doesn't let enlisted pilot, you have to be either an actual officer or a high ranking warrant officer.

More more more moremoremoremore
MOAR!

another good chapter cant wait for more, keep up the great work :pinkiehappy:

Glad you guys are enjoying the story. :twilightsmile: Gotta say, I love writing the story because of how much fun i'm having writing it, and its just even better having others enjoy it as well. My first fic was an honest fail in my opinion, but i'm happy with where this one is going. i have a steady increase in the chapter lengths, and am having a steady increase in people tracking it.

Thanks so much for the support, I promise to continue delivering. :twilightblush:

New Chapters up, sorry about the slightly shorter length and the wait. School work is intensifying as of late. Not exactly sure why. I'll try to stay consistent though. Hope you guys enjoy.:pinkiehappy:

Wait so their gonna leave a 300 milion £ piece of military hardware out in the middle of nowhere?:rainbowderp:

God chapter. Keep up the good work.:pinkiehappy:

*Good. Meh. I'm sure you didn't need my help to figure that out.

Nom Nom Nom Cotton Candy flavored Pony.:pinkiecrazy:

Because it's a fuckin 300 million £ military grade jet armed with dangerous weapons thats why.

203591

203667

"I know what you men darling," Rarity interjected

:derpyderp2: Thanks for catching that, tried to catch as much as I could but I probably did overlook some stuff.

Awesomeness is this story.

Though I don't think Marshall compares to Batman...

Ah, dark and gallows humor, how I love you so.

Garrick has knowledge of Equestrias future...
Pinkie you've got some serious competition :pinkiegasp:

:yay:< moar please

Hey there everypony. another new chapter. It was longer, however FiMFiction decided it didn't want to save my writing, so I salvaged as much as I could from memory...Hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the last few. Gave me a hell of a lot of trouble. Needless to say, I'm going to stop being dumb and start typing my stuff up on Google Docs first, then transfer it all over. :derpytongue2:

You could just use word, why would you start typing on here, thats just silly. Thanks for getting the chapter out so soon even with you trouble.. Will nao commence the delicious words... yumm...:yay:

Whathef is correct. All pilots, irrespective of branch, are officers. Enlisted are not allowed to pilot any kind of aircraft (fixed, delta, variable-sweep wing, or rotary). . A Sergeant performing an intentional stall, just to show off? :facehoof::facehoof::facehoof: He would be in front of a military tribunal before he even touched down for intentional endangerment and would be looking at some years in prison along with a dishonorable discharge. That and a Private (Pv2 is the appropriate abbreviation for the E-2 Private, not Pvt) mouthing off to a Sergeant? He would be put in his place so fast his head would spin. A Pv2 is fresh out of Basic, and a Sergeant has five years experience, minimum. You don't mouth off with that difference in experience level (even when it's deserved). These are the kinds of glaring errors that pull me out of the story (I'm former US Army).
