* Pit from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' mentions he would like to be able to fly by himself so he doesn't have to rely on his patron goddess Palutena to do so. The other characters also ''constantly'' mock him for being the only angel who can't fly, and the one time Palutena doesn't make some kind of disapproving remark over his desire to be able to fly on his own is [[spoiler:when he rescues Dark Pit, at the cost of his wings burning away because he forced Viridi to keep giving him the power of flight after its time limit expired.]]

* Kit Cloudkicker from Disney Television's ''WesternAnimation/{{Talespin}}'' series admires his mentor, Baloo, and hopes to become a remarkable pilot someday. The few times that Kit has taken the controls have overwhelmed him, though. However, as far as riding an airfoil goes, Kit takes to "cloudsurfing" like a bird to the sky.

* ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'': Every character who has the chance to [[{{Animorphism}} turn into a bird]] enjoys the experience of flight quite a bit, especially early in the series before the stakes have really sunk in. [[SixthRanger David]] annoys Marco by loudly reveling in the sensation of flying as a golden eagle (before raising a lot of red flags by [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals randomly killing a crow]]). In ''The Andalite Chronicles'' Elfangor finds bird morph to be a temporary reprieve from how horrific the situation is.
** Tobias is hit by this the hardest. He suffers from a crappy home life (constantly bounced from an aunt to an uncle, [[ParentalNeglect neither of whom care about him]]) and generally being maladjusted ("born with a KickMeSign" is one description) and jumps at the chance to morph a bird, allowing him to escape his problems by literally flying away. Because he's reluctant to turn back to human, he decides to go with the others into the Yeerk Pool ''as a hawk'' and suffers ModeLock at the end of the first book. From there he has a very complicated relationship with his hawk body, which got him out of his home life problems but left him increasingly far from his humanity, but he does still love flying. He's later given his morphing ability back... but his default form is still a hawk. He can morph into his human body, but rarely does so. By then his hawk instincts mean he's even less able to function and he's usually wildly uncomfortable as a human, [[TransAudienceInterpretation except when assuming the body of a pretty girl]].

* Janine Farehouse of ''{{Literature/Dinoverse}}'' finds herself in the body of a massive pterosaur. While the other three kids with her are able to adjust quickly to the capabilities of their dinosaur bodies, Janine has to put in [[HowDoIShotWeb quite a bit of practice]] before she can fly - at which point she [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leaves]], believing life as a quetzalcoatlus is better than returning to her old life. While flight gives her a sense of peace and rightness she doesn't get elsewhere, the loneliness starts to get to her and she's eventually persuaded to return.
* In ''Literature/DrFranklinsIsland'' Semi and Miranda are presented with a false choice ([[ForcedTransformation no chance to say no]]) - which one of them will become a girl who can fly, and which will become a girl who can breathe underwater. Miranda favors bird and while [[CopeByPretending pretending to be a volunteer so she can feel better]] she says several times that she would ''love'' to be able to fly. She has a SlowTransformation into a HumanoidAbomination, an enormous black bird [[HalfHumanHybrid still human enough to horrify]] - and yes, she does love flight.
