Sun ‘n Fun kicks off in just a few days, and our Official AVweb Toothbrushes are packed. As usual, we’ll be taking tons of photos to bring back home and show our friends and families – and since we’ve got ’em, we’ll probably post a few on the AVweb site, too. That means there will be no “Picture of the Week” contest next week. Instead, we’ll roll over any new entries we receive into the next week’s contest. (That means there’ll be a fierce competition in two weeks – which, in turn, means lots of great pictures to share with you.)
For now, we’ve got a great batch to tide you over – starting with Bob Stetser’s show-stopping helicopter pic. As the submitter of this week’s top photo, Bob will soon receive a brand-new 2005 AVweb baseball cap in the mail. For a shot at one of these handsome caps,submit your photo here.
Due to privacy issues, AVweb does not publish e-mail addresses of readers who submit photos.

“Folding the Wings”
Don Parsons of St. Peters, Missouri
(a grand old “POTW” town for those who are
keeping track) caught this landing of a Douglas AD-5
Skyraider at Creve Coeur, Missouri. This gorgeous
bird, Don tells us, belongs to Eric Downing.

“Now and Then”
John Hayes of Tucson, Arizona got
this great shot while watching a heritage
flight at the Davis Monthan Air Show.
An A-10, an F-16, and two P-51s –
where else but an air show would you
see this kind of display? No wonder
we’re itching for summer to begin … .

A little something to hold you over until next

“Early Morning C-130”
Ryan Stanley sends us this beauty of a photo
from an undisclosed location in Iraq. The shot
was taken in early 2005 using a Pentax Optio S4
“with the built-in night photo setting,” writes Ryan.
(Yes, we actually do like to hear about your cameras.)

“WWII Basic Flight Training”
David Thomas of San Fernando, California
submitted this photo of his father basking in the
glow of his first solo flight. The photo was taken during
early days of World War II and is one of many that
David’s father passed down to him. Hopefully we’ll
see more of them at some point in the future … .

“Fighters Galore”
Flying us out this week is another great air show photo,
this one of a Corsair and 2 Kittyhawks at New Zealand’s
Classic Fighters show in Blenheim. (Man, that must be
a great air show, considering how many top-notch “POTW”
entries have come from this year’s event alone!)
Oh, yeah – the photo is from Gavin Conroy of Blenheim.
(Sorry, Gavin; got carried away.)
