Ok, we know airbenders can do a bunch of the things brought up in discussion. We know that there was only one living airbender. There was just one (multiple element bending) airbender in the series whose style was based off of the peaceful and pacifist style of the Monks. But if other airbenders were found that were previously unknown, you could have plenty of other ways to do it. For example, you could have darker styles of airbending that wouldn't stay away from finishing moves and could be quite destructive. We know they can slice things in half with a more focused air slice or air blades is better actually (like Aang did to the buzzard wasp). So, an airbending swordsman/samurai is very possible. We know they can create vacuums/tornadoes. Look at the Air Suction ability if you doubt me on vacuumes. I mean that practically confirms vacuums. If you can create vacuums then you can in theory have an extremely destructive style of airbending based just on that. You can also make the case that suffocation and controlling oxygen/air density on some level to extinguishing or fan up existing flames is possible if you have vacuums. And if you have winds, vacuums, and air density control in theory you could use airbending to mimic telekinesis abilities to a certain extent. Just so everyone knows, Enhanced Speed confirms at least the air density control. Add Enhanced agility to everything else that's been said and that pretty much confirms telekinesis like abilities from an airbender. And a sub ability of soundbending is shown with amplification, though it may take certain things like whistles or voice to use it and may be very reliant on specific acoustics. So this is what we know is possible.
