Submit a Photo | Rules | Tips | Questions | Past POTW Winners
This year’s Labor Day holiday may have been more eventful than usual, but it still signals the end of summer for many. (Say it ain’t so!) But don’t let that discourage you – with extended Daylight Saving Time this year and just a little bit of luck with regard to the weather, we may still have a few good weeks of short-sleeve shirts and airport afternoons in store. While you’re enjoying the last rays of summer, remember to keep a roll of film (or an extra memory card) handy. Make AVweb a part of your end-of-summer adventures bysubmitting your aviation photos to our "POTW" contest every week.
Thomas Clough of Wauconda, Illinois did – and his bush flying photos climbed all the way up the ranks to take the top spot in this week’s contest. As our "POTW" winner, Thomas will receive an official AVweb hat in the mail, along with a few thousand oohs and ahhs from fellow AVweb readers. Thanks for taking time to submit, Thomas!

| Surfing in the U.S.A. Michel Charette of Bois-de-Filion, Qubec (Canada) writes, "We took cover under this beautifully restored DC-3 in Oshkosh this year during one of the traditional afternoon thunderstorms, while listening to the Beach Boys playing their famous hit song on stage, right next to us." We have to admit, it looks slightly more cozy than milling around in AVweb-issue plastic ponchos … . | ||||
| Lookin’ for Trouble John Olson of San Jose, California serves up this intimidating-looking bird of prey in a photo taken at the Lake Tahoe Air Fest Saturday. Yeesh. Even on the ground, this beauty demands to be called "sir." | ||||
