Actually Spitfire and Soarin seem a little older than Rainbow Dash. Spitfire and Soarin seem to be in their 30s (human equivalent age) while Rainbow is in her early 20s. They probably still weren't in the Wonderbolts quite yet, though. |

Look at the cutie mark emblazoned on the Wonderbolts suit in the last panel, and previous panels.
Rainbow Dash never got to fly, it was all a fleeting wish. |
| Capt-Nemo #370400 11 months ago |
Or, she was promoted. ;) |
| X7Z #370415 11 months ago |
I disagree, Lestat. It looks more like she was looking at a Wonderbolts costume and reminisced about her past and how her dreams came true. |
| Drasvin #370469 11 months ago |
@Lestat The winged lightning bolt is probably the captains mark (meaning Soarin is the team captain in the episodes so far) It's possible that Rainbow Dash got promoted to captain sometime between when she joined and when she retired. Also if she never fulfilled her dream, why would she be smiling in the last panel? |

| Anonymous #371493 11 months ago |
so...how old IS Spitfire anyway? |
| Capt-Nemo #371876 11 months ago |
Well, here's the excuse I posted on Deviantart about the age gap (which never even crossed my mind when I was making the comic, by the way):
Real horses have reached their adult height and weight after two years and live to be 18-22 years old. That means Dash could have been a 1-year old filly when she first saw the Wonderbolts, and the Wonderbolts could have been, say, 6-year-old adults. Three years later, Dash is accepted into the Wonderbolts. So Rainbow is an adult at four years old, and the Wonderbolts are only 9 years old, about middle-aged. That's plenty of time for her to be with them during their lifetime and for her to reminisce about her days with them as an old mare. |
