* OrphanedReference: Pinstripe and Sandback get much more characterization than the other R.E.A.F. fliers because originally they were to be part of Merrilay's TerribleTrio (See WhatCouldHaveBeen below).

Rainbow Dash's method of training is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_training#Live-high.2C_train-low very real thing]], Stormfront operating in two-man fireteams is exactly how the Canadian Armed Forces behaves during attacks, Apple Bloom's weapon lacking the punch to shoot out a lock, Silver Spoon laying in an "inequine" shape is a real camouflaging technique, and even the train-jumping technique are all very realistically portrayed.

** Pavel's silver joke actually does make sense if you know "eggs" are Russian slang for testicles.
** Silver Spoon referring to the Cake Twins as "Nicola and Bart" is a reference to Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian-born anarchists who were (unjustly, according to common opinion) tried and executed for their beliefs in the 1920s.
** Ms. Daydream's rant about the importance of "positive and negative lightning" sounds silly, but [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning#Types is actually a real thing]]. Given the difference between the two, the polarity of lightning ''would'' be a very important thing in a world where [[PaintingTheFrostOnWIndows lightning was artificial]].
