I summon the knowledge of the great Brony Fandom! Oh great and powerful fandom, answer me these questions three! Er, help me out here.
So, since my trip down to Disneyland California I overheard the pilot say his speal of "We've reached our cruising altitude of 32,000ft..." So it got the gears turning in my brain. Essentially, can a Pegasi or even Alicorn fly and survive at a cruising altitude of 30,000-33,000ft?
My biggest concern so is with the air being so thin at that altitude you'd think breathing, let alone flying, would be a bit of a challenge.
I have no doubt Rainbow Dash or even the Wonderbolts can fly at that altitude easily, I'm wondering if the average Pegasi can survive at cruising altitude. On top of that though, that raises a new question, what about other non-pony races that fly? i.e. Dragons and Griffons.
