Submit a Photo | Rules | Tips | Questions | Past POTW Winners
Those back-to-school specials must really be hot this week. It's the only thing we can think of to explain why "POTW" submission have dropped a mere sixty-odd photos. (Heck, we had almost that many in the running for "top ten" status last week!) Not to worry. We won't take it personally. No, instead we'll soldier on bravely and entertain ourselves with the top-notch photos that did roll in over the past few days.
At the very top of our pile is an eye-catching paint job from Mike Pastore of Illinois. Congratulations to Mike, who'll receive an official AVweb baseball hat in the mail next week. For a chance to win an AVweb hat of your own — and, more importantly perhaps, the chance to ooh and ahh a hundred thousand of your fellow aviation enthusiasts — submit your photo here!

Knife Edge Mike Pastore of Wheaton, Illinois takes home this week's top honors. And although his photo took our breath away, we're not sure if that's Mike in the pilot's seat, Mike taking the photo, or maybe Mike who did the detailing. Whichever turns out to be the case, it looks like Mr. Pastore did a fine job! |

Picture Perfect While we were shopping for three-ring binders and girls' socks, John Stewart of Ypsilanti, Michigan snuck down to the Thunder Over Michigan air show last weekend. (At least he brought back some cool photos.) According to John, "[T]hese beauties were ... cranking around to make another 'strafing' run as part of what was billed as the largest WW2 reenactment in North America. "Fantastic formation work by these guys!" adds John. |

Cub in Your Face! Donald Neuberg of LaGrange, Georgia didn't tell us much about this Cub or its owner — but who are we to complain? The photo does speak pretty well for itself, in our humble opinion ... . |

Hustler Gary L. Jones of Clovis, New Mexico kept us busy with a batch of nifty vintage aircraft photos this week. We passed a few around before finally deciding to share this one with everyone: A B-58 taking off from Carswell Air Force Base (Texas) "in the early 1960s," according to Gary.

Napper Airfield Gate in Wedderburn, NSW, Australia Remember when your dad said you shouldn't throw away anything that was well-made, because you might find a use for it later? The folks who put up the gate at Napper Airfield in Wedderburn, New South Wales (Australia) must have known your dad.
Robbie Culver of Waukegan, Illinois brought back the photo from a recent trip to NSW. He writes, "Napper Airfield is literally in the bush and has a half-dirt/half-asphalt runway."
(Oops. We almost forgot to mention Robbie's friend Matthew Gray and the New South Wales Flying Club, both of whom contributed to the trip. NSW Flying Club, eh? Haven't we seen some photos of you guys in AVweb before?) |

In sharp contrast to the past few weeks, this batch of "POTW"
entries came up a little short in the "Nature's Majesty" category.
So to make up for it, here's a one-two punch of sunsets — Malibu Sunset First, from the inside, courtesy of Illinois's Curt Smith ... |

Sunset Flight ... and then from a little ... breezier perspective, thanks to Jason Hartwig of the U.S. Marine Corps. |
