Airships

The Lavender Spirit Airship and Lilac Sky Airship are two of several lighter-than-air airships featured in the series. The Lavender Spirit and Lilac Sky appear in several episodes, but they are only named in other media.
==Depiction in the series==
===Season two===
The Lavender Spirit first appears in Sweet and Elite. Rarity, Fancy Pants, Swan Song, Four Step, Count Caesar, and Sealed Scroll ride the airship—referred to by Rarity as a "fancy yacht"—during the song Becoming Popular (The Pony Everypony Should Know), Rarity christens the airship for its maiden voyage later on in the song, and a miniature version with a different balloon appears in Rarity's Canterlot Castle suite at the end of the song.
===Season three===
The Lilac Sky first appears in Apple Family Reunion. Wensley, Gala Appleby, and Apple Cinnamon arrive to the reunion at Sweet Apple Acres using the airship, and Aunt and Uncle Orange and Bushel return home using it.
The Lavender Spirit appears in silhouette on a poster in Just for Sidekicks.

The Lilac Sky appears flying through the Maretropolis sky in Power Ponies.

==My Little Pony The Movie==
The Storm King's army arrives in Canterlot by airship, a small one of which is piloted by Tempest Shadow. Captain Celaeno and her crew's airship somewhat resembles the typical cinematic depiction of pirate ships. Capper also mentions owning an airship to Twilight Sparkle.

In the Season 10 comics, Captain Celaeno transports Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie’s embassy to Abyssinia aboard her airship. She then uses it to travel to Ornithia with Rainbow Dash’s embassy. Other airships appear at both locations.
===Storybooks===
In The Dragons on Dazzle Island, Fluttershy and Spike fly a small airship called the Windhorse to Dazzle Island to convince a group of migrating dragons to leave.
In Daring Do and the Forbidden City of Clouds and Beyond Equestria: Rainbow Dash Rights the Ship, the airship Reflector, owned by Brumby Cloverpatch, appears prominently. The latter book also features a new airship owned by Captain Celaeno and her crew.
In The Official Movie Sourcebook, the airships Knife's Edge and Bladepoint are captained by Captain Rosella and Captain Blister, respectively. The Storm King's airships are referred to as Ironclads, with one named Oncoming Storm appearing prominently in the "Open Sky" narrative; this scene also features an unnamed airship captained by Skipper Sails.
