Today at PilotJohn.com, I am extremely happy to release a new section on this site. In an effort to promote the wonderful thing we call flying and the people around the internet that have the same passion as myself, PilotJohn.com’s new section called AVwards is doing just that. This is the first award of AVwards, and it is going to a great blog. I am very happy and honored to award it to one of the Best Aviation Sites:
Garry has just recently released his new blog this past July. He has already done an exceptional job on it. Garry’s love for flying is why he deserves this first PilotJohn.com AVward.
I got to ask Garry a few questions about his passion and his blog. Here is one of the first questions I asked….
- What gave you the idea to start airplaneblog.com
I am actually a full time blogger with quite a few dot Com blogs. A lot of my blogs I build for the purpose of monetizing including a few aviation related sites. Aside from that however, I do really enjoy blogging and writing. Building sites for monetization is one thing, but building a community and building relationships through my blogs and articles is an awesome experience. The Airplane Blog was started as a site for meeting people in the aviation industry and teaching others from outside the industry how much fun airplanes and aviation can be. The site features many articles that bring out the excitement in aviation. I am growing many sections on the site that allow for people to discover not only what certain airplanes look like but also what they sound like. Furthermore, if videos are available they are shown as well. My goal is to inspire anyone who wants to get involved in the industry. Whether the reader has an interest in becoming a pilot, an owner, or even sales. Perhaps the reader is just a history buff. All in all The Airplane Blog is a place that opens arms to anyone who expresses even a slight level of interest in airplanes and aviation.
Congrats AirplaneBlog.com for the August 2007 AVwards! Now go read the full discussion I had with the owner of this site and then visit him!!
