My Spirit of Air is Sad that he can't fly..
Is there Errata somewhere (I did look, but couldn't find.) on Spirit Skills and/or Powers?.. I'm assuming Spirits of AIr get Flight Skill.. Fire Spirits Have it.
and I'm assuming that Flight skill is like Running Skill but for Flying..
Also, shouldn't every other Spirit get Running Skill? I could see Plant not having it, but others, especially Beast, should get.

All spirits can fly :
A spirit’s physical form is metahuman-sized or smaller and very obviously ethereal (there is no mistaking a spirit for something worldly). Its physical body is not subject to gravity—though most spirits stay close to the ground because that’s where all the action is
and
On the physical plane, spirits’ Walking rate is Agility x 2. Their Running rate is Agility x 4. They can move in any direction, ignoring gravity. They use the Running skill to “sprint”
for +2 meters per hit.
It's just that only Fire Spirits get the Flight skill which work the same as Running skill. It's a bit weird by the way because the quote p.303 imply that Running work the same as Flight for Spirits.
Note that the absence of either skill doesn't mean that they can't sprint, they just have to default it at STR - 1.

Yea, basically a spirit can move in any direction it chooses and doesn't require contact with the ground to do so. A spirit can choose to directly walk across rooftops, ignoring the 50 meter gap between them with no worry of falling like your meta-human character. Or they can simply walk 300 feet above the ground for some peace and quiet if they want....
*notice I said walk. This is because they are not terribly fast even through they are technically flying. A manifested spirit 'flying' about is going to have trouble keeping up with a car. But if you want speed, that is what astral travel is for....

Unless they use the Movement power on themselves, in which case they could probably catch up to a car.
