Spitfire Crews

Scott Peterson of Santa Rosa, California didn’t have to visit 1945 to get this photo; he just went to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh and “happened by when these guys came in period uniforms and posed for another photographer.”

Thanks to the internet, Scott’s good luck is now yours and ours to enjoy.

“I’m NOT Impressed”

Unwritten rule of “POTW” submissions: You can never go wrong when contrasting two airborne wonders. Larry Tatsch of Ringoes, New Jersey knows that, and he brought his this excellent shot from the Atlantic City (NJ) Air Show last week.

You’ll find more reader-submitted photos in the slideshow on AVweb‘s home page – and there are some good ones this week, so make with the clicking, O.K.?

Click here to submit your own photos to “POTW.”

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.
