Submit a Photo |Rules |Tips |Questions |Past Winners

Each week, we go through dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of reader-submitted photos and pick the very best to share with you on Thursday mornings. The top photos are featured on AVweb’s home page, and one photo that stands above the others is awarded an AVweb baseball cap as our “Picture of the Week.”

*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***

Our intrepid “POTW” editor is on the road today, seeingreal airplanes and sunsets instead of sifting through pictures onthe computer. Not to worry – he’s left behind plenty ofeye-popping reader-submitted photos to tide us over, including a handfulof holdovers from last week’s contest.

Two-Year-Old Wrench Monkey

Apologies to Bud Struck of Garrison,NY for tilting his photo at such an odd angle – but we had to size it abit to fit our home page slideshow. (You can see the original,full-size imagehere.)

Bud writes:

I’m doing an A&P course at the Teterboro School of Aeronautics, and while studying the AC-43.13, my two-year-old son Tomas comes up and starts taking apart (and putting back together) his toy airplane. So I put the book on his lap and took the shot. … It’s only a little bit set up!

A bit – but we’ll still send you (and Tomas) a matched set of AVwebcaps to keep the sun off your heads.
