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 ***
Even with a bellyful of holiday ham, AVweb
readers know how to start off a new year in style! Join us as we
pore over the the best photos submitted by our readers in the last week
of 2007.

Climbing ... Climbing ...
Speaking of familiar names, Michael J. Gallagher
of Peoria, Illinois finds himself in "POTW" for the second week in a row
— and his description is almost as riveting as the photo: "The
F-15E Strike Eagle screams overhead and plies through the smoke after
pyrotechnics detonated during the 2007 Rockford, Illinois air show. Shot
from the pyro field." |

Tribute to Frank Luke
Kenneth Tomb of Chandler, Arizona
dials it back just a bit, taking us off the air show field and into the
more serene surroundings of Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport,
where "this Spad was recently put on display in Terminal 3 ... to honor
Frank Luke, the Arizona Medal of Honor winner." According to
Kenneth, this aircraft is similar to the one Luke flew in WW1, but was
restored by GossHawk Unlimited in Casa Grande. |

Team Breitling
Geza Bodor of Denver, Colorado amps
things up again with another shot from the Red Bull Air Races in
Monument Valley. This time, it's Nigel Lamb in his MX2 getting our
blood pumping ... . |

Phoenix Sky Harbor
Jason Tepool of Colorado
Springs, Colorado flies us out this week — with a shot taking
while he was flying in to Sky Harbor.

Send us your photos here!
Want to see more reader-submitted shots? There's always a few
surprises in the
slideshow on our home page.
—
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.
