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 photo on AVweb.com?
Click here to submit it to our weekly contest.
*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
Things have quieted down on the "Picture of the Week"
front over the last couple of weeks, but the competition heats up this
week, with nearly 100 top-notch submissions vying for the coveted title
— and the nifty baseball cap that goes along with it!

'Yankee Lady' Over New York City
This week's top spot could've gone to any one of the five photos we'll
be featuring today, but when all was said and done, this incredible
aerial view of NYC — from Suyapa Villalobos
of Teaneck, New Jersey — barely edged out the competition. "Flying
south over the Hudson River in New York City at 2,000 feet, we spotted
EAA's Aluminum Overcast flying northbound 500 feet below us,"
writes Suyapa.
Update: Eagle-eyed AVweb reader Kevin Kearney points
out that the "Aluminum Overcast" Suyapa photographed was actually
the Yankee Air Museum's B-17 Yankee Lady "participating in an
event at TEB on 9/15 and 9/16"!

Sunrise Over Lake Winnebago
Harry Leicher of Whittier,
California had his camera on hand at Oshkosh's Sea Plane Base this
summer — which is good for us, because we never get to spend as much
time there as we'd like during AirVenture. |

JetRanger on Mount St. Helens Crater Rim
Ryan Johannes of Hillsboro, Oregon
uses a tried-and-true technique to get his photo noticed — including
some amazing scenery! Thankfully, Hillsboro Aviation pilot
Morgan Kozloski was available to make the trek and pose (with his
206B JetRanger). |

Planes, Planes Everywhere
Got one of those nifty widescreen monitors? Tired of complaining
that you don't get as many cool wallpapers as the squares with their
standard-size monitors? Here's one just for you guys, courtesy of
Vahid Jahed from Minden, Nevada.
(With a little tweaking, it looks sharp on a dual monitor setup,
too!) |

Rusty Sunset Timothy
O'Connor of Batavia, Ohio flies us out with the
obligatory (but nonetheless stunning) sunset pic of the week.
(That's Popular Rotorcraft Association President Rusty Nance in
the pilot's seat, lending his name to the pun.)
Thanks to everyone who submitted this week. Remember:
We'll be at NBAA next week, along with lots of you. Look for
us roaming the show in Atlanta, and if you're staying home, please
feel free to pick up the slack and
submit a
photo or two, as our submission numbers are liable to dip
during the show. (P.S. That means a little better shot
at picking up an AVweb hat, folks!) |

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. ;)
A Reminder About Copyrights: Please take a moment to consider the
source of your image before submitting to our "Picture of the Week" contest.
If you did not take the photo yourself, ask yourself if you are indeed
authorized to release publication rights to AVweb. If you're uncertain,
consult the
POTW
Rules or
or
send us an e-mail.
