Visual Graphics First Animation

This is my first animation attempt in After Effects.  The background is from my 3D modeling class.  The zoom thing at the beginning turned into much of a headache and still doesn't look like I want it to, but that is on hold until the quasi 3D things AE can do (but I'm not there yet).  I did do all the objects included in psd format so the background could be used then.  The motion of the plane wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, rather close to flash.  But I have to admit AE still feels clunky in usage, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.
