[quote]It turns out that My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic inspires students literally training to fly at supersonic speeds.
Fansite Equestria Daily recently reported that an entire Air Force unit was spotted wearing patches that suspiciously mimicked the cartoon's trademark logo. An Vance Air Force Base spokesman later confirmed that its airmen-in-training are indeed sporting pony patches, and went on to justify the apparel like a true brony.
Hangover, Facebook, and "Got Milk" designs have all been used in the past, but this time Hasbro was the only company that approved one Friendship Is Magic-inspired logo. "During a slide show presentation while previewing the different patch options, the presenter threw the 'My Little Pilot' patch design into the mix as a joke," Barger explained. "For whatever reason, that patch made it all the way through the approval process." And so, even though the students weren't actually My Little Pony fans, the Brony Squadron was born.

that was a joke but ok
The approval process? I guess it met standards?
My god, these comments on the escapist are painful.

And no nation would dare fight us for the fear of being beaten by a squad of bronies

You're in your fighter jet and the last thing you see is a figurine crashing through your canopy.
I'm not a fan of MLP but I think they're pretty cool looking.
[QUOTE=Red scout?;41657837]My question is, why?[/QUOTE]
Because the airforce previously have nothing in relation to MLP
And in my experiences on the internet if something doesn't have any relation to MLP they will fucking make it.
IE. every movie and game you like

I need it! link it to me :v:
The Air Force has billions of dollars of hardware that can drop a 2000lb bomb in your window from up to 30 miles away depending on speed and altitude
I think they can do what they please. Even if this is so stupid it makes me want to be a communist
[QUOTE=Leon;41657867]that was a joke but ok[/QUOTE]
It being a joke doesn't retract from it having as much wit and humor and relevance as that of a dog turd.
Don't we ourselves have a brony soldier on the site? I'm not one for that manner of nonsense but he himself doesn't seem all that bad.
SKEEA where are you?
Speak of the devil. Anyways, here is another source: [URL]https://medium.com/war-is-boring/1ce5ba1c074b[/URL]
It isn't a squadron, it is just a pilot training class. These guys aren't bronies, they just submitted the patch as a joke, and it was the only one to successfully make it through the approval process somehow, stacked up against other designs submitted by their training class.
I imagine they will be playing the theme song during their next invasion like Apocalypse now.

Damnit Skeea, beat me to it. Title is a bit off, its not actually a squadron patch, its just the one their class made. I recall seeing a pilot in training wearing it a while back here, and did a double take.

Yeah if I recall correctly training classes make their own patches, the result is actually quite a mix of different designs, I remember seeing a really funny one of Bug Bunny riding a bomb.

No offense to you in particular, but could we stop bragging about userscripts on FP? I swear, every time someone posts anything to do with "the cloud" or clouds, someone brings up their quirky userscript that changes everything to "Butts" and that derails the thread. No crap you're getting quirky and weird thread titles, you fucked around with your browser to make it show quirky and weird thread titles.
Brony threads tend to be bad enough, having to wade through quirky userscript posts in addition to dumb flamewar garbage... eh.
ON TOPIC: Eh. Kinda funny.
EDIT: Woah guys I thought this thread was gonna be about ass I guess my wacky userscript tricked me!!!
