We know we can't do flips or fly upside-down because the physics mechanics throw a tantrum the time it was attempted, but since we have ground emotes... Why don't we have something we can do in the air other than broadcast and distress calls?
Maybe activating the friendly call can have the dragon do a quick roll for a little stamina cost, just to show off to friends. Hitting the threat display in flight could do something like extend the claws or fake a swipe at someone if they get too close.
Simple things, just to add a little spice to the flight engine that's already amazing on its own. Tell me one person in any game with flight who hasn't wished to do some tricks every once in a while...

That's a pretty pigeon and he got sick moves, 10/10

In all seriousness tho, I do agree that allowing more in-air emotes/calls would be nice.
Being able to do a little show-off when flying next to a flying peer would absolutely make my day, just like how being able to threaten in the air would probably make the RP folks happy.

Very nice suggestion, the possible interactions in the air definitely need to be extended as it can make for fun/cool looking animations.

The idea of air tricks is a yes but I don’t think they should be linked to the calls

Linking to calls is just a way of keeping things simple so you don't have to take your hand off the controls to hit keys. I'm sure there are other keys that could be used, but anything off the number bar would probably be a little cumbersome to reach in flight. lol
