Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners

Unavoidable circumstances demanded that we run a "POTW" archive installment on June 21, but now that things are slowing down after AirVenture 2005, we thought you might like to see that week’s winning photos – especially the nifty winning pic from Tom McLaughlin of Battle Creek, Michigan, who’ll be receiving an Official AVweb Baseball Cap for his efforts.  Congratulations, Tom!

"Matched Set"
Tom McLaughlin
of Battle Creek, Michigan didn’t take
this week’s winning photo – Doug Allen of the Battle Creek
Enquirer
did – but Tom sent it in to AVweb, so we’re sending
him the Official AVweb Baseball Cap that marks him as one of
life’s winners!  (Tom, if you’d like us to send an extra cap for Doug,
justdrop us a line and let us know!)  In all fairness, Tom did fly lead
in this Klein Tools Formation Flying Team at the Battle Creek
Field of Flight Air Show on July 1.  The other pilots (seen in
the photo) are Michael Mancuso and Matt Chapman.

“Robinson Family Reunion"
Relax – this isn’t a disaster in the making,
but a dramatic air show photograph from
Wiley Hodges
of San Mateo, California,
who caught these two members of the
Showcopters helicopter air show team
doing their thing at the Hiller Aviation
Museum Vertical Challenge
in San Carlos on June 18.
Chris Gularte and Bob Bolton are
the daredevil helicopter pilots here.

“Home Is Where the Hangar Is"
Emily Beaton of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania
reminds us that all you need for a landing is a flat
patch of ground and a place to store your plane.
She visited the Beverly Soaring Society in Western Australia
in February and brought back this photo of the last hangar in
their line, nestled among the salmon gum trees of the Outback.
(For the record, Emily identified the trees – not we!)

“World’s Sole Gloster Gauntlet"
Lassi Tolvanen of Helsinki, Finland
didn’t have to travel back in time to get
this photo – he just happens to live in the
same country as the world’s last remaining
WWII-era Gloster Gauntlet, piloted here by
Jyrki Laukkanen.
