Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners

It’s all sunsets and horizons in the latest installment of "Picture of the Week."  Even with an unprecedented three bonus pictures this time around, we had to leave some truly beautiful shots behind on the cutting-room floor.  Once you see this week’s winners, we think you’ll forgive us.  As always, our winner (Michael Montgomery of Kentucky) will be receiving an official AVweb baseball cap to show off at his local airport.  Congratulations, Michael!

Remember: We want to see your holiday-themed airplane shots, sosubmit ’em here!

“New ATC Death Ray"
Jared Yates of Meridian, Mississippi sends us this photo
of the control tower in Campinas, Brazil.  Jared explains:
"What looks like a new laser death ray designed to keep
wandering pilots in line is actually [a] Christmas decoration.
Viewed from the busy highway, it looks like a Christmas tree,
but from our vantage point at Gate M1, it’s outright scary.
I don’t think you’ll see decorations on any tower in the U.S.,
much less a major international airport!"
(Now we know what to getDon Brown for the holidays … !)
