Anyway, another attempt at an actual background this time which is why this took so long.
I’m not quite happy with it, but I learned a lot making it so that’s what counts I guess.

In Equestria’s distant past, magical flight devices were commonplace. Earth ponies could frequently be seen tooling around the skies. Then one day, a sinister villain drained the magic from the skies, and though pegasi could still use their wings to cushion their descent, many earth ponies and even unicorns were lost. After the magic was restored, Celestia passed a law expressly forbidding anypony from ever using such a device.
After Rainbow Dash outfitted Tank with his, Twilight confronted her, stunned that a unicorn would help her with such a thing. Rainbow Dash pointed out that the law forbade àny_pony_ from using a magical flight device, but Tank was not a pony.
