    Ok this probably will not be talked about in the final few shows but it should be addresed

    Aang cannot possibly be the last air nomad. Bender sure, but last of his people no.

    We all know there are 4 temples North and South to train Males and East and Western for females

    Not all people in each nation can bend

    so were do the nomads live? Giving the fact that the Air nation is a buddist like culture we can conclude that they are very free spirts

    so if a member of that nation could not bend and were never taken to one of the temples to learn/enhance there ability and learn disciplne I think it would be safe to assume that they would just kind of wander the (earth) hence the name nomads and the fact that we know of no existing air (towns).

    Book 2 episode 2-Cave of 2 lovers

    sokka-"who are you?' -"I'm Char and this is my wife Lily, We're nomads happy to go wherever the wind takes us"

    If Aang was the last air nation member he could not possibly restore balance to the world and with nobody to teach the new avatar airbending he/she (from the water nation) and the two after that (earth) and (fire), could exist but never be a true "Realized" avatar, then the next cycle would of course be air so with nobody there to fill the void the cycle would break

    Hopefully this will be addresed some how in the final few episodes but unfortunitly I don't think it will

    yep it said on nick.com's avatar page that everyone of the air nomads could bend air, also an air nomad would be distinguishable by his/her arrow tattoo

    I believe it's been confirmed by the creators in interview. Basically it's because the Air Nomads are so few in numbers, and bending is a spiritual thing and they were all about spiritual stuff is why they were all benders.

    Lets just say the Air Nomads aren't gone and they can all airbend, but they choose not to airbend so they would be able to blend into society...
    or we could say they all died...
    or we could say...
    ...
    This could go on forever, but we will never know until it is said in the show or by Bryke...

    I think it was in some interview with Bryke. It was about how whether or not a person is a bender is biased on their spirituality and all air nomads are at 100% or something
