As you all know, in Tod Indy says he can't fly at all, and in LC, he can fly but he can't land. Also, in one Young Indy episode (Attack of the Hawkmen, I think), he can fly and land perfectly.

Now, on Saturday, me and my friend Ben were talking about contradictions in the SW novels in relation to the movies, and I brought up the contradiction of Indy's flying skills. Now, Ben doesn't know the Indy series quite like we do, but he says that people can learn the skill of flying and can lose it over time if you don't fly in years. I guess that could make sense, he doesn't fly for some years in between Hawkmen and Temple of Doom, and then in between Temple and Last Crusade he might've practised some flying in between. Also, Ben is now a licensed glider pilot so I guess he would know a thing or two about the skills of flying.

Anyways, how does this theory sound?
