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.” Want to see your photo on AVweb.com?

*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***
We hope you have a little cheese handy this morning,because we’re about to break out the whine.
Ready?
Picking this week’s top photos was tough!
Seriously. Although we had only 58 new submissionsto choose from this week, our “top contender” pile was ridiculous.There couldn’t have been more waffling about which photos should make itinto the AVwebFlash if we’d done this edition over breakfast.
| Gathering of Mustangs If your first thought on seeing the name of this week’s winner is “Oh,that’s not fair,” then buddy, you ain’t alone. We were just asshocked as you to learn that Patty Wagstaff(of St. Augustine, Florida) is as handy behind the lens as she is behindthe stick – but hey, them’s the breaks. The lady can fly, she cansnap pics of warbirds like nobody’s business (apparently!), and she’llsoon have an AVweb cap to keep the sun off her brow this winter. (Wonder if she can write or code web pages? Hmmm … .) And lest we forget: Thanks to everyone who’s sent ustheir Mustangs and Legends photos! Our own Mike Blakeney had aball at the show, and the rest of us wish we could’ve gotten away – butat least we’ve got the photos! |
| Blue Angels in a Hot L.Z. Yes, we admit it: Even though we’ve seen it a thousand times, westill get a charge from the Wall of Fire, even in photos – and maybeespecially in photos set against the blue skies of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii!Jacqueline Monterrosa of Kapolei,Hawaii serves up this pulse-pounding entry. | ||||
| The Long Wing of the Future Eric Williams of Oakland, Californiasnapped a couple of photos of the Airbus A380 for us at San FranciscoInternational Airport. We have yet to see the aircraft in all itsfully-functioning glory, but Eric’s pics do a nice job of communicatingthe scale, don’t you think? | ||||
| Touch Down Miah Roggio of Birchrunville,Pennsylvania provides a serene backdrop for your weekend flying – oryour computer’s desktop, if you’re so inclined. | ||||
| Short Final at 47N Sean Morrissey sees us out this week, with a photo of submitter Herb Kushner cruising into Central Jersey Regional in his RV-4. |
