Strands #277
“Gonna fly now!”
💡🔵🔵🟡

Hi Strands fans. Bit of a tricky one, this. The theme of "Gonna fly now!" made me think of airlines, but that was the topic of Strands #269, so it had to be something else.
Eventually, I accepted defeat and used a clue, which revealed ANGEL. That did, at least, spare me showing my ignorance of ornithology, as I was somewhat concerned this was going to involve listing types of bird.
Realizing that anything with wings was fair game, I spotted GRIFFIN in the top left, and after earlier finding "thing" while looking for clue words, I was able to complete the spangram below it: WINGEDTHING.
I found DRAGON along the bottom next, followed by FAIRY to its right. STORK was next to that, which just left BUTTERFLY to unfurl and complete the puzzle.
