Secure like you and me, taking flight with him? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pegasus

'taking flight with him?' is the definition.

'secure like you and me' is the wordplay.
'secure' becomes 'peg'.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'you and me' becomes 'us'.
'peg'+'as'+'us'='PEGASUS'

(Other definitions for pegasus that I've seen before include "Northern hemisphere constellation - use gaps (anag)" , "group of stars" , "Exceptional horse" , "Constellation in the northern hemisphere near Andromeda and Pisces" , "Flier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
