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?

*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
With the 2007 NBAA Convention in full swing as we type
this, we were a little worried that "Picture of the Week" submissions
would drop off this week — but, much to our delight, they actually
picked up while we've been at the show! And since we're a bit
crunched for time, let's dive right in.
But first, a quick update on last week's "POTW": Eagle-eyed AVweb reader Kevin Kearney points
out that the "Aluminum Overcast" in last week's top
photo was actually
the Yankee Air Museum's B-17 Yankee Lady "participating in an
event at TEB on 9/15 and 9/16." Good call, Kevin — and thanks for
the correction!

Pylon Down!
We start off with a Red Bull Air Racer doing the very thing we asking
Michael Goulian about in this week's
exclusive AVweb video — namely, hitting one of those
hard-to-miss pylons at the air race — courtesy of
Tolga Ercan from Santa Monica, California.

Survival Training
Matthew Walker of Tallahassee,
Florida shot this week's close-runner-up "during multijurisdictional law
enforcement aviation open-water survival training."
Think about that for a second: The man almost won our weekly "POTW"
contest while he was completing a grueling survival training course. |

Half-Critical to Flying Safety?!
Apologies to the U.S. Post Office, but how could we not run this
image? Barry Blumquist of
Winston-Salem, North Carolina writes, "I sure am glad we have electronic
notification means for ADs!" |

Oklahoma Sunset Our almost-obligatory sunset
sign-off comes from Gerald Benson
of Alva, Oklahoma this week and features pilot Kyle Franklin
calling it a day after practicing routines for the Oklahoma
Festival of Flight.
Big thanks to everyone who made time to submit pictures this
week. There'll be more to see in the "POTW" slideshow on AVweb's
home page late in
the day Thursday.
We'll see you back here next week. In the meantime,
please remember to
submit
your photos! |

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.
