===Origin===

Skyward Flight originated as Cadet Flight B, one of three training flights organized from around twenty-five students who pass the DDF pilot's test when Spensa is seventeen years old.{{book ref|skyward|7}} The training flight includes students from various backgrounds, none of whom initially seem to recognize Spensa as the daughter of a disgraced DDF pilot, with the exception of her friend Rodge (Rig).{{book ref|skyward|8}} The instructor of their class is [[Cobb]], a former pilot who acted as a wingmate for Spensa's father.{{book ref|sky1|6}} Spensa learns that Cobb had effectively circumvented the leader of the DDF, Admiral [[Ironsides]], to get her into flight school.{{book ref|sky1|8}} Spensa immediately dislikes [[Jorgen]], a fellow cadet who comes from a wealthy and influential family; due to their divergent social backgrounds and opposing attitudes regarding DDF policies and hierarchy, she nicknames him "Jerkface".{{book ref|sky1|9}} She also nicknames their squadron "Skyward Flight",{{book ref|sky1|9}} a reference to her father's tendency to focus on the sky and the stars beyond.{{book ref|sky1|23}}{{book ref|sky1|prologue}}

===Training===

The members of the team begin training on holographic simulators colloquially known as "mockpits".{{book ref|sky1|9}} Most of the cadets have no background as pilots.{{book ref|skyward|9}} After one day of training, Ironsides deploys the squad as decoys due to a shortage of available starfighters,{{book ref|sky1|10}} and they are unexpectedly attacked by a [[varvax|Krell]] ship.{{book ref|sky1|11}} The brief dogfight causes Rig to quit flight school, telling Spensa that it was not really his dream and that he is not suited for flight.{{book ref|skyward|13}} Meanwhile, Ironsides has made it clear that she is opposed to Spensa's presence in flight school and does not allow her access to any of the facilities, forcing Spensa to sleep in a cave every night and scavenge for her own food.{{book ref|skyward|13}}

 

Cobb delays practice with weapons to focus on ship control,{{book ref|skyward|13}} and the cadets steadily gain skill through both simulations and actual flights in their Pocos.{{book ref|sky1|23}} Cobb's methods are unusual among flight instructors, but the members of Skyward Flight later realize that he has made them more skilled than some pilots in other more experienced flights.{{book ref|sky1|46}}

===Losses===

In one of the Flight's first true fights since their first day of training, [[Morningtide]] is shot down by three Krell ships trailing her. In the same battle, [[Bim]] is killed trying to go after a [[lifebuster]] when its escort peels away and destroys his ship.{{book ref|skyward|19}} During what was supposed to be a mission surveying falling debris, [[Nedd]] recklessly follows two members of [[Nightstorm Flight]] into a falling C-137-KJM orbital shipyard, trailed by Spensa. Nedd and Spensa barely escape the massive shipyard before it crashes to the ground, but the two Nightstorm pilots were killed.{{book ref|skyward|26}} The pilots were actually both Nedd's brothers, which caused him to stop showing up to class due to emotional trauma, until he is officially removed from flight school.{{book ref|skyward|27}}

 

During another battle, [[Hurl]]'s shield is brought down in a dogfight. [[Kimmalyn]] tries to shoot down one of Hurl's tails, but her usually perfect aim fails her in the heat of the moment. Hurl is hit by a Krell fighter and goes into an uncontrolled descent.{{book ref|skyward|32}} Jorgen tells Hurl to eject, but she refuses, attempting to be brave and safely land the ship. Although she nearly succeeds, she is killed in the crash.{{book ref|skyward|32}} The next day, Kimmalyn tells the flight that she is holding them back, and quits.{{book ref|skyward|33}} Later, the flight accompanies [[Blaze]] on a scouting mission, and when they report back to Cobb to debrief, Arturo's mother is there waiting for him, and pulls him out of flight school.{{book ref|skyward|41}}

===Final Battle and Disbanding===

Shortly before graduation, the remaining members of Skyward Flight are assigned to fly with [[Nightmare Flight]], an established group of full pilots.{{book ref|sky1|46}} After some friendly back-and-forth that includes Spin and FM showing off their maneuvering skills, the group sees the other half of the C-137-KJM orbital shipyard falling through the debris field.{{book ref|sky1|46}} They are spotted and engaged by the Krell who are patrolling it.{{book ref|skyward|46}} [[Bog]], a member of Nightmare Flight, has his shield brought down, and Spensa, Jorgen, and FM fly to his rescue. Spensa picked up a tail, had her shield brought down, and was hit; she ejected, losing her ship, and was later formally dismissed from flight school.{{book ref|skyward|47}}
