Norbert's flying (potential spoiler)

OK, just visited a neighbour and saw Norbert flying his little red plane all over the screen like Arnie Pye's helicopter. First, I realize this means that said neighbour is not exactly playing by the 'rules', but I'll worry about that later. But...

Please, please, PLEASE!!!!! Tell me we don't end up getting another character who ends up flying around the screen when we don't want him!
  • I must have a much wider span for Norbert flying machine than others, because even before he appears across the screen and I tap I go straight to his LZ.
    And it's annoying.
  • I wish they made the flying objects UN-tappable! It is so annoying how they get in the way of the game play. As if this sentiment hasn't been expressed to death already, why don't these devs ever take action to fix it? You go to the town hall census, and when you select the character flying, it doesn't even take you to them, it takes you to a building (Norbert's landing strip here) instead. So why, if the game doesn't use the flying object, should we have to? The flying objects should be UN tappable. You want to check on them, go to the object the town hall sends you to. It's that simple! These flying tasks do nothing but get in the way of people's taps. It's worse when they practically center the object on the screen, the same zone that most players tap their Springfields in. It doesn't make sense, and I wish the devs would listen to the feedback. I remember someone did a poll/survey on it, and players overwhelmingly hated this aspect of the game play. Anyone else feel this way about it like the OP and I do?
    At least they made Norbert's plane way smaller than the helicopter, space ship, and sleigh. It's a start at least.

    Yes. Kodos flying task also makes me nuts. Seems like almost anywhere you tap on the screen, once she comes into view, takes you straight to the Simpsons house.
