Wonderbolts

The Wonderbolts are the most talented fliers in all of Equestria. They are a squad of three Pegasi who perform aerial acrobatics and demonstrations. It is Rainbow Dash's dream to meet and join this group.

In the episode, The Elements of Harmony, Nightmare Moon took on the form of The Shadowbolts, dark versions of The Wonderbolts, to convince Rainbow Dash into joining them and abandon her friends during their quests to get the Elements of Harmony. While Dash appreciated the offer, she declines, never leaving her friends for anything. Upon hearing this, the Shadowbolts turn back into a mist that is Nightmare Moon and flees.

In the episode of Sonic Rainboom, the Wonderbolts attend the Best Young Flyer Competition in Cloudsdale. When the winner of the competition is announced, the winner will spend an entire day with the Wonderbolts. During the final performance, Rarity's wings disappeared when she flew to close to the sun while showing off her wings, causing her to plummet down towards the earth. Tthe Wonderbolts then immediately took flight and race down to save Rarity from her descent, but the unicorn's flailing hooves knocked each of the pegasi out before they can save her. Rainbow Dash then saves Rarity and the Wonderbolts, while in the process, performed the Sonic Rainboom successfully. The Wonderbolts thanked Rainbow Dash for saving them, to which Dash becomes extremely excited to not utter a proper reply to her heroes. She then begins her full day with the Wonderbolts that she dreamed of.
