Superman

Character » Superman appears in 9542 issues.

Rocketed to Earth as an infant from the doomed planet of Krypton, young Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind from oppression while championing truth, justice, and the American way!

Question: When did Superman... (Possible Spoilers)

Fly in Action Comics? I may have missed it, and my back issues of Action Comics are in storage at the moment, but when did Supes first fly? AC is now based after the first Justice League story arc, so he has developed the ability.
 
Any help?

Originally or New 52?

@joshmightbe: New 52. He went from jumping into space in the Brainiac arc, to flying. And don't give me the issue where he meets the Legion as a kid. That doesn't count :)

Right at the end of the Brainiac arc.

I thought it was just me that missed it lol thought they would have atleast done a page of him flying under his own power for the first time.

@azza04: Seriously. They made such a big deal about having a depowered Superman in AC, and then don't even mention it when he flies? They did like three panels of him JUMPING into space, but defying gravity? Whatevs. No big deal.
