Granted it may not be the most exciting Alpha card, but it's still an icon, and has stood the test of time better than many of its contemporaries.

A classic! The art and the flavour text are so good that I used them to make some Elemental token for Call the Skybreaker. In a 
hybrid frame is quite nice!
Unlucky, quite obsoleted from newer cards, but not so many, and not by much.
Djinn of Wishes
Murder of Crows
Serra Sphinx
Conundrum Sphinx (not exactly strictly better, but almost)
Mistbind Clique (only in a Faerie deck...)
Sky Swallower (lol, I'm joking)
So I'd say that Air Elemental is quite in a good shape for a blue flying beating. The problem are the white creatures, that are far better than the blue ones, even if blue is the color of flying. I don't understand why!
White has:
Angel of Flight Alabaster
Archon of Justice
Baneslayer Angel
Battlegrace Angel
Indomitable Archangel/autoc... (see all)

Leon was proud of the air elemental he had summoned, but after the other scientists made fun of him for thinking "air" was an element, he was forced to rename it the less cool-sounding "oxygen elemental". The scientists who had mocked him were found mysteriously suffocated.
