Getting high :-)

Nov 1, 2009
After yesterday's flight to Masterton, I thought I would do something a little different today. Today's flight was a reasonably short, but didn't really get close to it... because I was up at 13,000 feet for the first time :-) I took my usual...

50 years of the "new" Wellington International Airport...

Nov 1, 2009
... and 80 odd years that the Wellington Aero Club has been operating here :-) Wellington International Airport held it's 50th anniversary open day today. It's been 50 years since the "new" airport was opened, although as I noted above, Wellington...

Wellington to Masterton for no particular reason

Oct 31, 2009
I went flying today. No particular reason except that I was keen to get out of town for a short flight and Masterton fits the bill well enough. Today's flight was 1.4 hours return, which I thought was pretty good considering that I had to go the long...

JNA no more, another Tomahawk and air ambulances

excellent
  Rodney's blog doesn't pretend to be any more than his own view of aviation happenings in his life. The photos are always as clear and as well composed as possible and document a side of aviation that perhaps many don't see - that of an air side and/or airborne pilot. It is an especially worthy visit for local Wellingtonians.

great
  I liked this blog. It is really good to see a blog that covers a persons personal interests and yet includes a wide range of aviation from large commercial to helicopters and fixed wing trainers. What I like best is that this blog is not a rehash of other content on the internet - it mostly seems to be the author's own work. Lastly, the pictures are very good, and well worth the vist in and of themselves!
