Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners
Submissions to "Picture of the Week" took a slight dip this week – a normal occurrence in the days following Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, we got to enjoy some stunning landscapes (and even a few air show pictures) before awarding this week’s top prize – an official AVweb baseball cap – to Todd Wade of Kansas City, Missouri. Don’t let those jets blow your new cap out to sea, Todd!

"Stating the Obvious"
Todd Wade of Kansas City, Missouri
probably had to hit the deck to get this shot
from the north end of Charles Wheeler Airport
(MKC) at the 2004 Kansas City Air Show.

"Amazing Aircraft"
New Zealand’s Gavin Conroy returns this
week with a photo of "the amazing DH-2"
(perfect adjective) coming in for a landing
in Omaka, New Zealand. Apparently this
was a practice run for the DH-2’s flight
at the upcoming Christmas Wings air show.

“Flyin’ with the Tiger"
Ryan Lunde of Laramie, Wyoming
got this nifty shot while he and friend Chris Prause
were flying formation over Texas with Flying Tiger
Bruce Bohannon. "He slowed down to Champ
speed very easily," reports Ryan.

"The Right Stuff"
Richard Shankland of Gig Harbor, Washington writes,
"This is not really for the ‘POTW’ contest. Rather, it is the only way
I had to show you the picture associated with yourJato/Ercoupe
article of 11/24/05. The picture came from my Dad’s aviation
album, which dates back to WWII." Official entry or not, Rich,
we think a few readers might get a kick out of this as well.
Thanks for sharing!

"Wautoma Morning Fog"
These early risers have the right idea –
avoiding Oshkosh air traffic and restrictions by
flying into nearby Wautoma Airport during AirVenture.
Don Mortensen of West Jordan, Utah seems to know
the trick well – and had his Pentax digicam handy on his
2004 trip to AirVenture. Hope to see you there in ’06, Don!
