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!
