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 ***
We hope you have a little cheese handy this morning,
because we're about to break out the whine.
Ready?
Picking this week's top photos was tough!
Seriously. Although we had only 58 new submissions
to choose from this week, our "top contender" pile was ridiculous.
There couldn't have been more waffling about which photos should make it
into the AVwebFlash if we'd done this edition over breakfast.

Gathering of Mustangs
If your first thought on seeing the name of this week's winner is "Oh,
that's not fair," then buddy, you ain't alone. We were just as
shocked as you to learn that Patty Wagstaff
(of St. Augustine, Florida) is as handy behind the lens as she is behind
the stick — but hey, them's the breaks. The lady can fly, she can
snap pics of warbirds like nobody's business (apparently!), and she'll
soon have an AVweb cap to keep the sun off her brow this winter.
(Wonder if she can write or code web pages? Hmmm ... .)
And lest we forget: Thanks to everyone who's sent us
their Mustangs and Legends photos! Our own Mike Blakeney had a
ball at the show, and the rest of us wish we could've gotten away — but
at least we've got the photos! |

Blue Angels in a Hot L.Z.
Yes, we admit it: Even though we've seen it a thousand times, we
still get a charge from the Wall of Fire, even in photos — and maybe
especially in photos set against the blue skies of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii!
Jacqueline Monterrosa of Kapolei,
Hawaii serves up this pulse-pounding entry.

The Long Wing of the Future
Eric Williams of Oakland, California
snapped a couple of photos of the Airbus A380 for us at San Francisco
International Airport. We have yet to see the aircraft in all its
fully-functioning glory, but Eric's pics do a nice job of communicating
the scale, don't you think? |

Touch Down
Miah Roggio of Birchrunville,
Pennsylvania provides a serene backdrop for your weekend flying — or
your computer's desktop, if you're so inclined. |

Want more? Cruise on over to AVweb's home page and
check out our "POTW"
slideshow, where you'll find all these photos plus another from
Kaieteur Falls, some snaps from Anchorage and Antarctica (if you prefer
cooler locales), and a sampling of the deluge of rainbow pics we
received in the wake of last week's winning photo.
Look all you want, but don't forget to
send us your
photos, too! (Where do you think we get all these cool
pictures?)
—
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.
