Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners
Want to guess this week’s theme? It’s holiday pictures, of course – and, surprisingly, Middle America. One in five "POTW" submissions in this round came from Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois. Good work, folks – thanks for putting us in a festive mood!

"Christmas Time at the Tower"
Steve Stombaugh of Indianapolis, Indiana writes:
"In last week’s ‘POTW,’ Jared Yates claims, ‘I don’t think
you’ll see decorations on any tower in the U.S., much less
a major international airport!’ Sorry, Jared, this is the
tower cab at Indianapolis International Airport!"
And quite a sight it is, Steve! Thanks for submitting
this image, and be sure to leave your stocking up a
few extra days this year – your AVweb
baseball cap is on the way!

"Fill ‘Er Up, Please!"
Bryan Oetting of Decatur, Indiana snapped this
this photo during a food-and-fuel stopover on a
cross-country flight. The Skyhawk is his, and the
Aeronca Chief belongs to his friend Shay Ponstler.
"We did get a few stares when ‘topping off,’" writes Bryan.

"’Tis the Season of Hangar Flying at Lyncrest"
Brrrr!
Bob Hamel of Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada)
was one of several submitters this week
who chilled us to the bone.
Maybe it’s time for some more articles on icing … .

"A neighbor put up this display," writes Bill Everson
of Elmhurst, Illinois. "I drove past it several times before
realizing the similarity to a VOR’s antennae."

"Santa’s Helper Hits the Pilots’ Lounge"
Mark Murdock of Griffin, Georgia sent us
a couple of festive pics- we’d expect nothing
less from a man who named his dog "Tequiza" –
but the caption on this one was our favorite:
"Pilots’ lounge at Bella Field … is a little rough."
