Quote: PixieP said: I'm almost thinking the aura around his body also plays a factor in his inability to fly. When he runs, an aura is created to reduce friction. In one story this worked against him when on a plane, a stewardess was sucked out of the plane. Flash went after her and could only reach her by streamlining his body to spped up his fall, however it shot him like a bullet past the lady because of the frictionless aura around his body. He had to do his best chicken impression and flap his arms to reach her. Then all he could do is pump his legs in a running motion to slow their descent to the ground. Of course this was at a time where his speed was more limited than it is now.
