*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***
“POTW” submissions climb back into the skies this week,with more great photos rolling into our submission box. So manynew photos, in fact, that we’re running a little behind this week, sowe’ll jump right in with little fanfare. This week’s top photo isalso our “suggested desktop wallpaper of the week,” and it comes to usfrom the prolific Josh Cawthra.
| Springtime in Alaska Ah, springtime! Josh Cawthraof Fairhope, Alabama snapped this pic in Lake Hood, where the frost haslifted and Piper Cubs are gearing up for flying season. Josh has submitted some fantastic photos to our contest over the lastseveral months, and we’re very happy to (finally!) send him one of ourbrand-new sandstone AVweb ball caps. At least he’ll havesomething to keep the sun from his eyes while he’s out there shootingmore pics for us! (We’re never satisfied. We know.) |
| En Route from Whitehorse, BC to Anchorage, AK Speaking of Alaskans and airplanes and great-looking photos – here’s anincredible in-flight shot from John Payneof Anchorage, Alaska. | ||||
| Let’s Get Started Thomas Auerbach of Ponca City,Oklahoma is another “POTW” alum who shows up in our submission box fromtime to time. Here, Merl Helt does the prop honors for Steve McGuire‘s Baby Ace. | ||||
| “Age 65 Rule?” Puh-lease. At 103 years old (104 this Sunday!), Rose Marie Schiltz took herfirst flight in a brand-new Cirrus SR22-G3. Thanks to Cirrus Design’s Kate Dougherty(of Duluth, Minnesota), who took time to submit this photo – probablyknowing there was no way we could pass it up. As Kate points out,Rose is seven months older than human flight, so (to our way ofthinking), it’s the airline industry that’s finally catching up to her lead. Happy 104th, Rose! And to the rest of you –send morepictures! 🙂 | ||||
