"...this was as close to a bird's dance with the spirits of the Air as human beings could come." (p. 665)
Human members of Ythrian choths on Avalon in Poul Anderson's History of Technic Civilization would disagree because they soar on antigravity belts, a technology far beyond the reach of Stirling's Changelings.

Kaor, Paul!
And I remember how Mike Havel, a former small plane pilot who once worked ferrying hunters and vacationers to remote parts of the old state of Idaho, took great pleasure years later in being able to hang glide. It reminded him of the old days before the Change.
And I would be delighted if the anti gravity technology of Technic Civilization is ever developed! And TALES OF THE FLYING MOUNTAINS also comes to mind.
