Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners

Submissions were down a bit this week – barely 50 fresh photos to choose from!  Luckily for us, every single photo we received this week was a "Top 10" contender.  It made picking a winner tough, but the process was a lot of fun.

When the dust settled, Steve Bailey of Illinois took home this week’s top prize – an officially licensed AVweb logo hat!  Wear it with pride, Steve – and be sure to remind your admirers that they, too, can win an AVweb hat if we choose one of theirphoto submissions as "Picture of the Week."

“Arctic Sunset"
Perhaps in response to Bill Whitney’s chopper pic
entitled "Arctic Sunrise" a few weeks back,
Darrell Couts of Redmond, Washington
sends us "Arctic Sunset," along with this note:
"As the sun set for the first time in months,
we were all watching the show.  C-206 on
floats on Victoria Island, Nunavut, Canada,
300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Aug 2005."

"Mosquitoes at Kimpo, Korea – 1956"
Finally, Robert Hanson of Olathe, Kansas
takes us on a journey back through time with a photo
from his personal collection.  "I was sorting photos from
my first assignment as a pilot:  A Forward Air Controller
flying LT-6-Gs, known as the Mosquitoes.  Gritty times,"
writes Robert.  (That’s him in the cockpit of LTA-582.)
