Well, you may have noticed the new avatar, and I'm trying to work out how to make the full-size version look like its flying rather than just falling or maybe floating while farting...
I know the idea might be to have some clouds whizzing past, but how best to do that? Any reference pics welcome, as I couldn't find any....

Please ignore the atrefacts in the blue, that was just a bad conversion...
maybe make the hair jump towards us a bit, and then jump back real quick. just two frames for that animation and repeat.
maybe make him bob up and down a bit too
Well, it's a bit cheesy but you could try some animated effect lines coming from the centre...
Maybe if you just made the hair look like it was being blown back...
you could change thepose so that one arm is pointing out like superman

perhaps SSH prefers to fly with his arms scrabbling feebly at the air?
If you bring your head down closer to the bottom with the arms out front instead of hanging doon (<-- scottish pronunciation), then add a little more angle it would help heaps.(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/forSSH.GIF)
I'd go for Mr_frisby's idea.
It wasn't until now that I realised your avatar is flying...
To me it looked like a monkey (thought the feet were ears) that had a towel through the head coming out his earholes :P
Like Lloyd Bridges in Hot Shots... ;D
Make the entire sprite wobble as though with air friction/destabilisation.
That'll help. Probably.
