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 ***

It’s spring! And although half the AVwebstaff are climates too cold to notice, we’re breaking out the sunblockand jams to celebrate. Yes, we still have a few pairs of jams -but what do you care? You don’t have to look at us when we’ve gotall these great reader-submitted photos to shuffle through!

Add your photos to the mix! Submit themhere, andyou might see them on AVweb next Thursday morning!

Where Are We?

Richard Rice of North TexasSkydiving Center in Garland, Texas asks the question – and answers it inthe full-size version of this week’s winning photo.

Larry Portman sent this photo in to our contest on Richard’sbehalf, telling us Richard isn’t quite as caught up in the ‘Net as therest of the world. For making time to send it in, Larry, we’resending you two hats – one for Richard and one for yourself.

Or two for yourself, if Richard really isn’t on the Web. (Justsayin’…)

Y’know, we’ve been doing this site just long enough that we couldalmost run a feature story on airplane owners and theirlawnmowers. Dr. David Millerof Newburgh, Indiana has taken the parallel to new heights byrefurbishing his “old Sears Craftsman riding lawnmower … to look likethe Saratoga II HP.” (Too bad you can’t replace engine parts forfree at Sears for the life of the plane!)
