That may be true but Dusty wanted her and Dashie to be even more outstanding.[/bq]

 
Still no excuse for the tornado.

Dash was merely a follower; Dust was the one making all the reckless decisions for the both of them. RD initially complied with Lightning only because she didn't want to risk blowing her one chance at achieving her life's dream.

And once again, she didn´t have to be that close to her partner. They don´t have to be glued together.[/bq]

 
But they can't be far apart either. Dash was barely keeping up with her lead-pony before she injured her wing.

[bq]

 

>
And the main focus was to get the flags as fast as possible.[/bq]

 
True, but Dust was still going far faster than necessary. And it wasn't to win the competition for her team either; she just wanted the glory of being the first to find a flag.

[bq]

 

>
Dashie and Dusty just jostled them.[/bq]

 
They knocked literally everyone else aside simply because Dust was too impatient. And this was after Spitfire had specifically instructed the cadets that the course wasn't a race and that placement doesn't matter.

[bq]

 

>
She still was ok with the idea of a tornado.[/bq]

 
Did you even read my comment? She was only okay with it because she thought Dash & Dust successfully pulled it off. She had absolutely no idea how out of control it actually was.

[bq]

 

>
Once again; no more tornados for Dusty.[/bq]

 
This really isn't a debate anymore if you're just going to ignore what I write.

[bq]

 

>
By the way, if the Wonderbolts had trained to create tornados (Hurricane Fluttershy) on that day the result could easily have been the same.[/bq]

 
Except they wouldn't train specifically for that. Wonderbolts don't usually set off tornadoes. And even if they did, they definitely wouldn't assign just two pegasi per tornado. After all, not even Dash and Dust--the two most athletic cadets there--couwere ablde to handle it.

[bq]

 

>
When a Wonderbolt falls out and you are ready; therefor the training.[/bq]

 
That's exactly my point. Reserves still need be able to act as a full Wonderbolt when the time comes. So those who wish to train to become a reserve should have a basic knowledge of the Wonderbolt organization--including the fact that the Wonderbolts work as a team.

[bq]

 

>
No, she was humiliated and kicked out.[/bq]

 
Are you really going to argue she never did anything for her own personal gain?

[bq]

 

>
And teamwork is something she could have learned if Spitfire just had given her the chance.[/bq]

 
Spitfire did. And while she wanted Dust to put in her all, at no point did the Captain ever tell her to ignore everypony else and focus only on herself.

[bq]

 

>
To pretty much everypony but her.[/bq]

 
How do you know? We never saw her again after that episode.
