thanks
Yes, so long as they're not riding a Monster. Can be useful against BS shooting for example.
True, but I do think Domine Now is correct in saying...

i can't see why he couldn't fly but if someone could BRB that for me as i am on vacation for 7 weeks without my BRB

“Unless otherwise stated, a character cannot join a unit of monsters (too much danger of being stood on), a unit of flyers ...” etc.

You move the cavalry, then you fly the eagle character(s) into the unit. The enemy shoots/magics. Next turn you charge the character out or make a 20" fly move. The cavalry move as normal.

That only outs you in the unit every other turn.

It's not a game-long combo.

But it can be very useful to approach with the eagle guy without getting him skewered by the 4 RBT you are likely to see every time you play other elves for example.
