They have on The Big Kahuna...not only that Hagrid flew one to the hut
on the rock (though I think the idea he flew Sirius' motorcycle there
is  more popular), but that Dumbledore flew one to the Ministry back
in PS when HRH were about to go after the Stone.

That Dumbldore-flying-to-the-ministry thing is still fishy, even with
thestrals to sweeten the ride.  It still seems so much simpler and
quicker to walk out the gates and apparate.

I wonder if Voldemort is afraid of Thestrals?
