Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners

Yet another Michiganite (Michigander?) takes home top honors in “PoTW”! Heather Johnson receives the golden AVweb baseball cap for her perfect shot of a de Havilland Tiger Moth. How are you guys doing it up there – do you get a free camera with every checkride in now? No, don’t tell us the secret – just keep sending these amazing photos! As for the rest of you – are you going to take this lying down? Is Michigan really the new capital amateur aviation photography? Well … ?
