I would like to flash new sketches over the air with the WiFi module.
Is it possible?

Technically it is possible, but it would require some code to be written.

Ardunio IDE only support serial loading right?

Maybe a virtual serial port that maps to WIFI? So the IDE will not know! :-)

Or the ESP8266 need to know the protocol of the serial port programming and someone write that code :-)

And then you can FTP/TFTP the binary to it....

I like the virtual serial idea (if the IDE only works with serial)!

The Arduino IDE is already able to program the Yûn over WiFi:
