My main concern is that the intro plane sequence was boring after a massive wait, the plane was fairly low poly too. The flames on the end of the motionless plane were much prettier, I would have made more of a feature of that. Oh and the arrows on the main plane should have been the navigation.

Good advice thanks man......im think im just going to redo the whole thing and stick to simple. Sometimes I find when I get working I just want to do too many things.

Pretty nice I must say. I would try and load some of the pages dynamically or from other swfs. Will help on loading time tremendously, especially those 3d rasters. Just my 2 cents

Always the way dude - less is more so the saying goes.

lol yeah im starting to learn that.....otherwise the design comes off as 'trying too hard' so to speak.

Or you can embed flash like everyone else this century and use SWFObject, which lets you provide alternate content. Cock.

chill! I just found it funny that with a 4mb download to worry about, that was the least of his worries.

took a while to download; i waited;

what has the plane/flight theme have to do with, well, anything? I quite like some of the photography; nice skills there :-)

main concerns; the navigation in the footer, how the clouds pop up, this seems awkward as you can only click on the base of the cloud and not the cloud itself. The site in general seems a little dis-jointed; some pages flow, others seem to have just been thrown there (i guess these could be wip?).

IMHO i like it, some nice ideas, but i think it needs a bit of fine-tuning - perhaps drop the 3D sequence (i didnt like that bit anyhoo)?
