*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***
With wint’ry weather, twinkly lights, and holiday cheerall around us, nothing made us happier than finding an electronicsubmission box stuffed to overflowing with holiday-themed photos thisweek. Since this is our last chance to share the seasonal cheer,here are some of our favorites from AVweb readers.
| Merry Christmas Charlie Owen‘s photo – “taken onLake Hood in Anchorage, Alaska at night in freezing fog with 1/4-milevisibility” – would make the perfect pilot’s postcard. There’s nothing we could say that would sum it up better, so – fromCharlie via AVweb – season’s greetings to you all! |
| Santa’a Arrival Thomas L. Rudolf of Middletown, Ohioexplains that this particular light display can be found in a city parkby Middletown’s Hook Field (MWO). “Appropriately,” writes Thomas,”Santa has arrived by helicopter.” | ||||
| Santa at t TGI Yep, the big man in the red suit showed up a few times in this week’sbatch of photos. He looks a little overdressed at Virginia’sTangier Island Airport (TGI), but in the spirit of the season, he stillmade time to pose for Piotr Kulczakowiczof Chevy Chase, Maryland. (For the record, Santa seems to own quite a few Cessnas andhelicopters, but he didn’t show up in any ultralights this year.) | ||||
| Arctic Landing Trevor Kudrna of Anchorage, Alaskaserves up a winter wonderland (and an off-the-beaten-path location for alanding). No Santas, twinkling lights, or religious symbols here -but tell us you wouldn’t love string a few blue-and-white lights onthose snow-capped trees, eh? | ||||
| Smooth Landing … Still Sleeping Lidia Nonn‘s niece Molly has the right idea here. With Santa on the way – do we hear rotors on the rooftop? – it’s time for all good little AVwebbers to tuck themselves into bed. (Before you don your kerchiefs and nightcaps, though, be sure to check out the slideshow on our home page for more reader-submitted photos.) | ||||
