Jonathan is a loner and a visionary. He is isolated because of two related characteristics: his love of flying, and his refusal to accept the flock's statements about the way things should be/work. (Given author Richard Bach's longstanding love for flying, we could see him as a stand-in for the author as well.) He's brave, and driven by a vision he feels more than understands: the need for speed. As a result, he becomes transcendent, a kind of hero figure who is self-transforming. You might call him an avatar for the New Age.
