EDITED - Design for Aviation Stack Exchange
Comments on June 21st Edit:
You're going to hate me, but I actually think the updated design looks more like a constellation. For example, Taurus:

EDIT 2:
Another design concept.
The "Questions", "Tags" buttons are re-made for a more simplistic style and less sim-like. The selected tab is in green, as is the selected state of many cockpit ...

Voting arrows look selected when they're not
I'd be in favor of reversing the colors (make "unselected" arrows dark & "selected" ones light) - I think that would make the difference more intuitive and the unvoted arrows less obtrusive - ...

Awesome, looks real good. I like the logo idea of combining the AI with wings. The badge-icons is an obvious slam dunk. :)

Thanks for the fantastic work here, especially the logo. The attitude indicator part also looks like a runway stretching out to the horizon ahead of the aircraft, which is really great!
But I do ...

The icon's shape in hot questions list doesn't look very distinct. Perhaps you could add those transparent lines to it? They're used in favicon which is smaller, so why not there too?

Desaturate blue color in vote buttons
The blue in the arrow seems to be a match to (most of) the blue triangles in the map, as well as the Ask Question button and the section highlight line. I tried desaturating them to match (the other, ...

Can the background image be moved / rotated so that the waypoints are shown more? Right now, only a small portion is shown and most of the area is empty space.

When are we getting the Dark Theme?
Meta Stack Exchange already has it, why don't we just import it from there?
Because we are completely under control of Stack Exchange, and have no control over when they implement functionality on ...

Custom vote up/down arrows
How about attitude indicators indicating nose up or nose down? This would be very not arrow-y, but I think it would be cool. A profile view showing a climbing or descending aircraft would be neat. ...

Not sure if it will work, but how about making the sky part in the icon less opaque? Hopefully it will look a little less like piecharts.stackexchange.com that way.

The blue text, IMO, is far too bright
The up/downvote buttons are downright confusing - the selected button shouldn't be duller than the un-selected one!

Blue color is too vivid
Basically, the same problem as this one.
On the "new" theme, the color of text is #0492fd. On the original theme it is #127fd1.

Miniature icon looks kind of a little like a "smudge"

My only contribution to this whole debate is I really want us to have custom up and down vote arrows. I mean, planes are so arrow like to begin with, it seems obvious (maybe too obvious)?
