Flight Info

I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking when doing this, but for some reason I was convinced we had to use a dynamic query so I designed my interface around that idea.  Since we don't actually need to do this, my design will be changing, but this is what I have.  I was working with the idea of displaying flight information.  The arrivals and departures are represented by images of planes either landing or taking off with the name of the airline below the image.  The text would appear underneath and would be red if a plane is delayed.  My idea was that clicking on the image would bring up a map showing weather concerns, the plane's route, take-off time, landing time, time in air, and time remaining in air.  Since I can cut out the need for a dynamic query, this will all be combined into one screen.  I will most likely use a grid-layout in which each airline will be a column, and they will be arranged by time.  The flight numbers will be large and bold to be easily identifiable.
