Past Winners
Each week, we go through dozens (and sometimes
hundreds) of reader-submitted photos and pick the very best to share
with you on Thursday mornings. The top photos are featured on
AVweb's home page, and one photo
that stands above the others is awarded an AVweb baseball cap as our
"Picture of the Week."
Want to see your photos featured?
Submit them here!
A quick note for submitters: If you've got several
photos that you feel are "POTW" material, your best bet is to submit
them one-a-week! That gives your photos a greater chance of seeing
print on AVweb, and it makes the selection process a little easier on
us, too. ;)
*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
Given the sudden chill many pilots are feeling, it's no
surprise that a common theme in this week's submissions is ice — and
plenty of it!

Third Blade? Frequent "POTW" contributor
Don Parsons of St. Peters, Missouri
submitted our favorite icy photo this week. "We had a freezing
rain ice storm Friday night," writes Don. "When it started warming
up Sunday morning, the blade warmed up enough for the ice to slide off
it. It was still attached to the spinner, however, leaving this
'ice blade.'"
We've seen some fantastic pictures from Don over the last year or so,
and it gives us great pleasure to finally be able to send him an
official AVweb baseball cap as this week's "POTW" winner! Thanks
for persisting, Don — and keep sending those photos!
(Picture submissions have slacked off a little in the wake of all
these holidays. If you'd like to give 'em a boost,
submit your photos here — and be
sure to check out more than a dozen bonus photos in the "POTW" slideshow
on AVweb.com.)

Patty Wagstaff Did It Again!
Well, O.K. — to be perfectly honest, we could probably rename this
feature the "Patty Wagstaff Picture of the Week" and not have to repeat
ourselves for over a year. But that doesn't mean we can't ooh
and ahh over new Patty photos that find their way into our inbox!
Most all of them make us flinch, and more than a couple make us ask
whether or not they've bee turned upside down — but this one, from the
incredible Stig Ohlsson of Orlando,
Florida, made us grin from ear to ear. |

Close Quarters
Ron Durr of Albuquerque, New Mexico
forced us to choose between a couple of impressive helicopter photos,
but we had to choose this one of three Special Operations choppers
"refueling over the North Sea." |
If you enjoyed these photos, be sure to visit
AVweb.com, where
there are more than a dozen new photos waiting for you in our "POTW"
slideshow!
