Welcome back to AVweb’s “Picture of the Week,” where we share the most colorful, exciting, and breath-taking amateur aviation photos we’ve received this week with the rest of the world. Tyson Rininger headlines this week’s batch of photos, with an image that may induce some dj vu. As his reward, Tyson will soon be the proud owner of an Official AVweb Baseball Cap.

For your chance at an AVweb cap,submit your pictures today!

NOTE: There were so many great photos last week that we couldn’t possibly fit them in. If you’ve submitted a really great photo in recent weeks and feel that you should’ve been a contender, you may want to re-submit your photo and try your luck a second time. Remember that we toss all photos out of the contest each week, so you have re-submit to be re-considered. (Of course, we do ask that you limit your re-submissions to once every few weeks as a courtesy to others.)


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