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 ***
Welcome back to AVweb's "Picture of the Week"
feature! We've been riding high on reader submissions for quite
some time, but this week saw the tide of photos ebb a bit. We
realize that everyone is recuperating from the holidays, but we start to
feel a little unloved if we get fewer than a hundred photo submissions
in a week. (Yes, we're incorrigible. And you can submit your photos here.)

Handful of Hanriot
Jerry L. Morris of Dahlonega,
Georgia sped past our astonished eyes with this shot of "a copy of a
1910 Hanriot taken at [the] September 2, 2007 Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome
Air Show."
Congrats, Jerry — the AVweb cap we're sending your way might not
be as stylish as a period aviator cap, but it'll keep your noggin warm. |

Spoo-ooo-ooky. Brad A. Meier
of Kennesaw, Georgia sent in this image "straight from the camera," with
no light manipulations. |

Her Day in the Sun
This "tail dragger sits majestically at the edge of one of Everitt Air
Field's two grass strips," courtesy of Englewood, Colorado's
Deborah Grigsby Smith. (Every
aircraft has just the right angle for snapping that perfect photo, eh?) |

Beaver on Lake Coeur d'Alene
Darian Williams of Hazard, Kentucky
treated us to a couple of photos from Idaho's Lake Coeur d'Alene.
This one reminded us of the halcyon days of summer (and the fact that we
never get to spend any time ogling seaplanes at Oshkosh). |

Soon ... Soon ...
Rob Wyder of Palm Coast,
Florida sees us off this week with his Marquart Charger, which
seems "anxious to get out of the hangar."
Patience, lady — patience ... .

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.
