Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners

A couple of weeks ago, when we at AVweb were grousing about low turnout for our "Picture of the Week" contest, you were all on vacation!  Right?

At least, that’s how it seems looking through this week’s batch of pictures.  For the first time in recent memory, there were more pictures taken from planes than pictures of planes submitted to this week’s contest.  Beautiful landscapes dominated the submissions this week, so we’re showing you the top three airplane pictures first, then offering you three bonus pictures with our favorite locales.  (Even so, we had to leave out some great photos of Liberty Island and the River Thames that just wouldn’t fit.)

Congratulations to Jud Phillips of Nashville, who will receive an official AVweb baseball cap for being our Number One "Picture of the Week."
