Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners

AVweb readers were cooking with gas this week – contributing just over 100 photos to our "Picture of the Week" contest.  Those are pretty high numbers for the slow period between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  More amazing still, almost half of the photos you submitted were pushed through to the final round of selection!  After much debate, we decided to award this week’s top spot to "Barrell Roll," a photo that turned to be from frequent "POTW" contributor Lassi Tolvanen.  Congratulations, Lassi – we’ll be sending an official AVweb baseball cap your way early in the week.

As for the rest of you – now’s a great time to dust off those old Polaroids and digital memory cards andsend us your pictures!

"Corfu Stoplight Redux"
Hey, remember Natalia Anemodoura‘s
heart-stopping landing photo fromlast week?
She was kind enough to send us a couple more
photos this week, including this one from the other side
of Runway 17 at Corfu Island International (Greece).
"Just for those who still are in doubt about the
authenticity of my previous photo," she writes.
Thanks for stunning images, Natalia –
we’ll never doubt you again!
