A legal document declaring that I am an Apache helicopter doesn't grant me the ability to fly.
It does.
It just doesn't grant you the ability to land safely.
A ballistic trajectory is not flight. It's like saying you're flying when you fall off a cliff. No, you're falling. Your motion is due to your inability to fly, not because of it.

falling with style if you will.
If you create a cambre with your hands, that's an ærofoil; which gets lift—insufficient lift—but lift.
Flight is vague. I'd argue that as long as your horizontal velocity exceeds your vertical, it works like an æroplane. In the case of helicopters, it's hovering.

That's gliding. There's a reason there's a different word for that. Flight means the ability to achieve stable altitude by means of mechanical motion of the object. Hence why a balloon floats instead of flies. A parachuter ascends. A glider glides.
Shut up Woody.

I want to agree with you, but I also really do not want to vindicate that absolute liberal faggot Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks is probably a fan of breathing. It's probably ok to like doing that too.
