What do you think are the limits for the elements. As we've seen firebenders can fly, Bumi can pick up houses, Toph can bend metal, and Aang can run at like the speed of a cheetah. So how far can an element go.
Notice I didn't put water because nothing spectcular but blood bending has happened for them.

Firebenders can only fly during the comet, and earthbenders can't bend when they're not connected to the ground or something that can substitute a little as ground.
Waterbenders can only perform special techniques at the full moon, and almost all waterbenders can't bend large amounts of water easily, and those that can have their limits in terms of stamina.
There's only one airbender, and he's the Avatar, so we don't know the limitations of an ordinary airbender.

Azula can not fly. If she could fly, why did she only boost herself up to the cable in The Boiling Rock?
If she could FLY, which means to remain in the air beyond a simple boosted jump, she would have FLOWN THERE and assaulted them from an airborn location, and sank the gondola.
Aang was in the Avatar State, and is the Avatar. He gains a major boost in power that allows him to go around the traditional rules of bending.
I don't consider that a special technique when you put it in the same league as lightningbending or bloodbending.
What is with everyone's fascination with no full moon bloodbending? What the crap? That would be the gayest thing ever. The entire point of the show is BALANCE, being able to control a person at any time anywhere would ruin it, because she could beat anyone.
Even with Azula's stamina, flight is impossible for anymore than a minute without the comet. She could "hover" slowly, but high speed, high altitude flight would require generating fire of such immense proportions to be in any way sensible at all that it would drain even Ozai in less than maybe three minutes. And even then, they wouldn't be able to manevuer very well due to the limitations, so the idea of firebenders flying is not only bollocks, but it's retarded.
And there is an "Avatar Level Bending", in which bending is more powerful and there are less limitations to it. Aang is the only earthbender to bend in that way that I can remember. Other ranged earthbending attacks are waves of earth or launched chunks of it that shoot out of the ground. If it's in the air, even Toph has to physically touch the rock to manipulate it (Which is why she punches the rock in "The Blind Bandit" to destroy it)
And bloodbending outside the full moon is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. If you want to throw out any fair fight at any time at all with anyone, then bloodbending it is. But if the creators ever start going bat**** with the special abilities and other abilities of bending (Like Toph metalbending at a distance) I am done watching the show.

He could have practiced other techniques (Such as boosting yourself) and he MAY be able to hover without it, but I seriously doubt he could just blast off and fly around at high speed without the help of the comet. I can see temporary, slow, or mid speed hovering if you had tremendous, virtually limitless stamina, perfected control of constant breathing (You would have to be able to perfectly control your breathing constantly to sustain the fire) and you couldn't do much other bending. The idea of putting the stress of flying continuously in conjunction with powerful fire attacks sounds ridiculous, considering doing so requires breath control and I doubt any bender can stress themselves to that limit.
The idea of hovering, I can see. But flying and attacking with a lot of power or lightning without the comet? No way. No way is that even possible. You would physically and mentally destroy yourself doing that.

The idea of doing both is ridiculous. You would be exhausted in a few minutes, at most.
To control your body to fly would require great strain. It would all you could do effectively. You may have a few random little fire blasts, but to make a big sheet or blast? No way, that's insane.

I can't see a firebender flying and pefrorming powerful attacks without the comet. The amount of control that would take is too much for me to believe. He may have known how to fly or hover prior to the comet, but he probably couldn't attack at the same time before the comet. Combining the two wouldn't be that hard once you could do both seperately. You'd just need to extra force.
