How did Clark learn to fly?

In "All Shook Up" Clark has quite a time of it.

I was re-watching "Superman Returns". One of the good scenes is Clark recalling how he learned to fly.

In Smallville learning to fly is an issue for three seasons.

So perhaps some tales about how the Clark of L&C learned to fly?

Silver(?) Age comics had Clark learning to fly by having him supported by helium balloons and put on a "leash". Jonathan held the other end of the leash and gave him instructions on how to steer himself. (Don't ask me how Jonathan became an expert in self-propelled flight. Then again, a distinct lack of logic or common sense is often a hallmark of a Silver-Age tale.)

I'd like to recommend Shayne T.'s Control for a humorous story on learning to control new powers.

Joy,

How does anyone learn to fly? They take Flying Lessons . What a great story!

One thing I haven't cared for in either LnC or Smallville is how everyone (except Clark in Smallville) masters flying so incredibly easily.

Anyway, some time ago I did a series of shorts that chronicled Lois and her experiences with flying. There are four shorts collected together in my First Flights . Story #3 is called Education and covers the "missing scene" from the Ultra Woman episode where Clark teaches Lois how to fly.

I didn't think it would be as simple as "Up, up and away!" smile
