Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners

Normally, we like to vary up the “Picture of the Week.”  If the winning photo features an amphib, we’ll look for something completely different next week — maybe a helicopter or jet, or an amazing landscape shot.  This week, however, we’re forced to throw tradition to the wind and run a “lightning picture” back-to-back withlast week’s winning photo.  In light of the back-to-back assault of Hurricanes Charley and Frances, it just seemed appropriate.  Don’t blame us — blame this week’s winning photographer, Tom Albers.  You’ll be able to spot him in his new AVweb baseball cap, which is winging its way to him right now … .

(Submitters, take note:  If your entry is similar to this week’s winners, hold off on submitting for a week or two, and you’ll increase your chances of making it to the final round!  Maybe you’ll force us to run an “all-lightning” edition of “POTW.”)


Due to privacy issues, AVweb does not publish e-mail addresses of readers who submit photos.

similar “POTW”s back-to-back with this incredible shot taken
from the flight deck of a C-5 “while we waited for a TS to blow over.”

David Black of Milton, Florida writes, “This is about half the Navy’s fleet

Normally they are packed tighter than this!”

“Mark, Set, Go!”
We had to suppress a chuckle when we saw this photo
from Harrison Smith of Knoxville, Tennessee.
Maybe we just spend too much time at the air races … .
