"Y" Flight is what I call the shot where a character is flying directly at you, with their arms out in front of them, feet together, and legs pointed straight out behind them - effectively forming a human "Y" in their flight. Thus, the creative name of "'Y' Flight." This list will be for those covers, when I run across them.
