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.”
*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***
Picture submissions crept back up to more comfortableterritory this week, and with more pictures came a tougher time ofchoosing our favorite. As always, we resorted to a top-secret andvery scientific algorithm – flashing reader-submitted pictures in fronta select group AVweb editors at 3-millisecond intervals and charting theincrease in electrical impulses across the surface of the skin.It’s a method that never fails, and the photo that made us tingle themost this week came from Lisa Salazarof Port St. Lucie, Florida.
We’ll be away from the submission box next week, onassignment at Sun ‘n Fun in Lakeland, Florida – but that doesn’tmean you should stop hitting that submit button! Whilewe’re out seeing the sights, we’ll be counting on AVweb readersto send usphotos of their airborne antics and fancy flyers.
| AeroShell Team in Action With Sun ‘n Fun just around the corner, there’s no better way to kickoff the air show season than with a “Picture of the Week” featuring theAeroShell Aerobatic Team – thanks to LisaSalazar of Port St. Lucie, Florida.

(Unless you count “weather warm enough for opening day,” whichapplies in places a bit north of Texas this week.) | ||||
