Whakatāne Airport, designed by Roger opened in 1974.  The brief for the terminal building was to come up with a distinctive design that sought to make the 'Sunshine Town' of Whakatāne appealing to visitors as a holiday destination, and to contribute to a distinctive regional identity. In 2019 Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga  added the Whakatāne Airport Terminal to the New Zealand Heritage List Rārangi Kōrero as a Category 1 historic place.

In his 2020 painting of Whakatāne Airport Roger celebrates the quirkiness and character of the building and pays tribute with an abstract of Moutohora-Whale Island, which he referenced in his original design.
