Rainbow Dash sometimes flies high for Wonderbolt training, higher than almost any other pegasus. Up there, it's just her, the earth, and the sky. It's more than enough to give a whole different perspective on things.

Wow, what a nice little story. Great description, you really get into Rainbow's head right there. Excellent job!
awesome a exultant look at how RD thinks and feels.
Beautiful little character study. Though I'm surprised Dash has patagia, given her feathers. On the other hand, going by in-show X-rays, there are phalanges somewhere in those wings.
Eh, minor quibble. Thank you for this.

In a broader context, a "patagium" is any membranous structure that assists an animal in gliding or flight, like a flying squirrel's skin between their legs. In this context, it's the official term for a fold of skin on the front edge of a bird's (or pegasus's) wing; basically, just the leading edge. I considered using that term, but somepony focused on precision flying would use more precise terms. That being said, when I first learned this, my reaction was much the same as yours.
That was a neat little story. Short and sweet and a little thought provoking. Delightful
Let's all go fly a kite.

Nice little... not sure what you'd call a story solely about a character reflecting on something - Thoughtfic, maybe? Well, whatever it is, it was a rather nice one.
Also, I was amused by this bit:
Makes you wonder how Dash'd react to the Total Perspective Vortex.
This is amazing. It somehow gave me a feeling of calm. Great job!
Rainbow Dash flies east?
This was awesome. That is all.
All stories should strive to be this uplifting in emotion. A beautiful little read.
Heh.... this SHOULD be uplifting, but too much time spent as a SpaceX fan has trained me to think of the upper atmosphere as the ever-dangerous enemy.
People live at those heights. :)

I was expecting a little more from Dash ;p

This is really what a one shot story should be.
Short, sweet, to the point, and full of story that doesn't need sequels, exposition, description or resolution.
It is exactly what it is, and that is perfect.
This was really nice! Nothing like going into the mind of a character like this, and you did a wonderful job.

Probably the same as Zaphod. LOL
And I really enjoyed this story!
Vivid and beautiful
Somehow both soothing and intense. I've had moments like this, and while it didn't stir in me a perfect recreation of how I felt then, it was very close. And that's quite the accomplishment since I (and Dash too!) considered it impossible to really put in words.
Very well done.
Nicely done.
Great imagery , makes me think of On the Wing by Owl City
Great imagery and description of the sky above
I'd like to see a version where she puts on wing extenders like flippers, adds a magic oxygen concentrator and shoots higher with Twi's help : ).
Sequel!
Nice. And an addition to my collection of "things that should count as stories though I don't know why."
