Airlines.net, "the biggest and most visited aviation site on the Internet. The community of users includes airline crew members, airline management, plus over 1,200,000 aircraft photographs"
Airliners.net

Just stumbled across another site similar to the MRC Blog- 'zkarj.co.nz'

It has heaps of recent aviation photos from all over the country, plus an entire image catalog of NZ Warbird aircraft which is very handy (especially if you're planning a FS repaint). See the NZ Warbirds Visual Guide.

Another cool page features detailed spotting locations at NZAA and NZWN set onto their google map satellite images, which can be seen here: http://www.zkarj.co.nz/blog/photographers-maps

Also, in the sidebar, I found a link to 'Rodney’s Aviation Ramblings', which is another blog site set out in a similar format, with plenty more planespotting pics from the Welly region: http://flyinggeek.blogspot.com/

There is also http://nzcivair.blogspot.com/

Thanks James and Wellcome to NZFF

how many people have heard of or get the Aviation News paper ???

I get it regularly , not every copy , only copies with stories of interest .

Ditto

I'm the same, often get Pacific Wings too when it looks interesting

I get most issues but am starting to find more and more of interest in the glossy pages of pacific wings. I occasionally pick up one of the plethora of sports aviaiton mags too
