High above Ponyville, or more appropriately a few miles away from it, High Winds was currently soaring through a bright, sunny blue sky. The curly-maned pegasus mare was currently out of her iconic blue and gold flight suit that the general public usually saw her in, although she'd brought her uniform and goggles with her in her saddle bag on the off chance she'd need to don it in case any sort of emergency, as there had been two occasions in the past where she'd been called to duty: once helping to divert a hydra stampede near Trottingham and again during a storm that had started getting a bit too out of control a few towns away from Manehattan. With a little luck no disasters, or near-disasters in those two cases, like that would occur today.
At the moment she had a couple hours to kill and was off duty, and seeing how it was close to lunch hour she'd settled on heading out to eat rather than settling for cafeteria food in the Wonderbolts Academy again, with Ponyville being the town she'd chosen to visit. She'd only been to the town herself town once during one of the Summer Sun Celebrations due to the whole team holding a performance there, but she hadn't had the chance to explore it much herself. From what some of the other 'Bolts who had been able to visit the town more thoroughly, most notably Spitfire, it sounded like a fairly nice place to visit, and the fact that it was only a quick flight away didn't hurt either.
As a few minutes passed, High Winds noticed a she was approaching a town below her. "That looks like the place!" She lowered herself in for a soft landing while making sure that there weren't any other ponies in the way so she'd accidentally crash into them. After landing she checked around. While some of the stallions and mares trotting around had taken noticed of her arrival, they quickly went back to whatever previous business they'd been doing. Good. None of the crowd appeared to recognize her as a Wonderbolt due to her lack of attire. While she would never refuse a fan if one of them did realize who she was and come up for a photo or autograph, her tendency to brighten up their day often lead her to lose track of the time.
She also vaguely recalled Spitfire mentioning that a number of potential future candidates for the team happened to live here. It would be interesting if she happened to run into any of them during her visit. Though that was secondary to her current objective. She appeared to be in the center of town, so it shouldn't be hard for her to find a map or a directory and find where the nearest restaurant or even hayburger joint was.
