Flight 5 is possibly the best Flight volume since the first. The quality of the stories is consistently high, their subject matter both appropriately thematic and varied, and their artistic presentation top-notch. The extremely experimental works are more carefully selected than they were in Flight 3 and 4, and the more conventional pieces more in-line with those found in the first volume.

Particularly impressive works are: The Broken Path by Michael Gagné, Delilah Dirk and the Aqueduct by Tony Cliff, The Courier by Kazu Kibushi, n by Phil Craven, The Changeling by Sarah Mensinga, Mountains by Matthew Bernier, And They Called Me... Bigdome by Paul Rivoche, This Morning I Woke Up To Discover That I Was The Chosen One by Dave Roman, Two Kids by Grimaldi, Voyage by Kness & Made, and On The Importance of Space Travel by Svetlana Chmakova
