So is that possible? Im just wondering should I take mining to my lowbie druid.

Even if it doesnt work, Druids are still the fastest miners due to instant cast Flight form.

I know, maybe I should take herbalism AND mining for incredible gold/hour :D But I'd like to be sure if mining can be done in flight form.

As I understand it, you can't mine in flight form or swift flight form. I admit I haven't tried it myself, but the comments on Swift Flight Form here on the site backs this up.
The wonderfulness of not needing to fight mobs while herbing does not apply to mining, I'm afraid. Want to do flight mining, a pally or a DK is probably faster, even despite instant cast forms.
Also, it makes sense. You can't scratch the ore out with your claws, you need your pick. And it makes the most druidic of gathering proffs, herbalism, gametechnically better for druids.

Another disadvantage of Mining / Herb is not being able to track both at once (unless there's an addon, but I couldn't find one). It's not crippling, but it is rather annoying. Skinning / Herb isn't as much gold (still quite a bit though), but it's less irritating =)
