dman11235 01-20-08, 12:07 AM	Why would they not be able to? So yes.

Amaril 01-20-08, 10:23 AM	There's actually a monster in Dragon Magic that does exactly that. It's a fire elemental dragon that tumbles (as per the skill) through occupied squares while flying (perfect maneuverability, by the way).

Tumbling in the air might not look like a "tumble", but it's basically a maeuver to avoid AoO. If you describe it as looking like a "barrel roll" as someone suggested, you might convince someone more easily (if that is, in fact, your goal).
