Will the Parade Chocobo fly as well?

Hi there.

After a ton of commendation collecting, I finally got the Parade Chocobo today!

Now I'm slightly worried; will the Parade Chocobo, essentially being a reskin of the Fat Chocobo, have the ability to fly as well? I sure hope it will, but the Golden Magitek Reaper didn't get the shooting skills of the normal Magitek Reaper, so I'm not sure what to expect.

Considering the considerable amount of commendations required to get it, I guess it doesn't affect all too many people yet at this point, but what is your opinion on this, or your best guess as to whether or not it will be able to fly?

The crown weighs it down too much, sorry.
GLORIOUS FAT CHOCOBO is a streamlined, aerodynamic flying machine

But the Parade Chocobo's Gysahl Green is bigger, providing more motivation... and gas.

Well the Parade Chocobo will use a BIGGER CAKE! And that one isn't a lie.

Doubt it, Gilded Magitek Armor is just a reskin of Magitek Armor, but they have yet to give it cannons, seems SE isn't too keen on giving reskinned mounts, the same features as the original,

But shouldn't the mounts you have to earn via achievements be just as good as the ones you get via conventional means? Normally I'd expect the stuff you have to actually work for to be either equal or superior in all aspects, not the other way around...
