I once read that it was possible to get flying super early by getting to Ravenshore as soon as possible and running straight to Ithilgore in Garrott's Gorge. If you keep all the horseshoes on the way, this gives him just enough skill points (including those unallocated when you find him) to upgrade his Dragon ability to Master, which doesn't require promotion. Since then I've been unable to resist the temptation to do this on every single playthrough, which consequently makes the game far too easy and boring, but I keep doing it!
