If this is really the first, then pigs are pretty late to the flying barnyard animals game. The bird ones have flown for a long time obviously, but sheep flew as early as 1783

Hmm, not sure about the word "flying." Maybe levitating / soaring / coasting / drifting?

Years ago, someone on reddit heaved a deep sigh and wondered if pigs flew before women did.

The answer is no... but not by much.
