Welcome to another installment of
AVweb's "Picture of the Week."
If you're new to this feature, here's
how it works: Every week we sort through dozens of
amateur aviation photos
submitted by our readers, pick our favorites, and fight
bitterly amongst ourselves until one lucky contestant stands
as the undisputed winner. Then we peek to see who sent
in the winning picture and mail him or her an Official AVweb
Baseball Cap™.
This week's most common themes: Warbirds and air
shows — sure signs that spring is around the corner!
Due to privacy issues, AVweb does not publish e-mail addresses of
readers who submit photos.

Erez Boym of Shimshit, Israel, who is one of
our favorite regular contributors. Before we
started offering the bonus pictures, Erez's
name showed up on more #4 selections
than you could shake a stick at.

"Probable Cause"
Bill Newhall
of Boulder, Colorado writes,
"I took this photo at a great little hunting and
skeet shooting club and resort called the Runaway Inn"
during a Colorado Pilots Association fly-in. "Note
that we
really did stop shooting when airplanes were taking off."
