A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
wotc1 May 2008
The ability only triggers if the creature spell has flying, regardless of whether an effect would cause the creature to have flying once it entered.
wotc1 Apr 2008
This card now uses the Reach keyword ability to enable the blocking of flying creatures. This works because a creature with flying can only be blocked by creatures with flying or reach.
wotc4 Oct 2004
When it turns into a creature, it is no longer an enchantment.
