I was wondering, dragons can flap their wings hard enough to fly through the air at 200ft per move action when they weigh hell knows how much. If they were then to lean back and flap at their enemies, how much force would this generate? ie where would they be on the wind effects table on page 95 DMG?

There is a feat that does that in the Draconomicon.

surely that doesn't mean dragons cannot normally do it?

See, the reason is, dragons are magical, see?

Otherwise how is a great wyrm silver supposed to fly with wings that aren't even as big as it?

Or a gold, those wings are little more than fins!

I'd say that's pretty much what it does mean.. After all, it should take some practice and training to be able to do something like that without losing altitude or stalling, so a feat seems like a good fit :)
