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 ***

The winter chill continues to keep many of our contributors locked indoors watching the Discovery Channel instead of snapping photos for us in the great outdoors. Nevertheless, a few dedicated souls have decided to spend their evenings curled up by the fire going through last summer’s flying photos. Our hat’s off the them – literally, in the case of our weekly photo contest winner, who’ll be receiving a sharp AVweb baseball cap in the mail in just a few short days.

Biplane Sunset

We often close out “Picture of the Week” with a spectacular sunset, but thanks to semi-regular contributor Don Parsons of St. Peters, Missouri, we’ll reverse the trend – and kick off this week’s edition with a sunset.

(Don’t worry; the rest aren’t all night photos.)

Aerostar, Fall 2007

“On a beautiful autumn day, I did a number of photos of our 1979 Aerostar,” writesLarry Baum of Ithaca, New York. “Most were ordinary, [but] this one just has a nice feel to it.”

Best Seat in the House

Hey, it’s Doug Gaudette of Xenia, Ohio – back in the very same spot for an eerie two weeks in a row, this time showing off that he’s “mile-high in a powered paraglider.”

We think you might be having a bit too much fun out there, Doug. Maybe it’s time for a week of watching TV and picking up around the house, eh?

By Air or by Sea

Salvatore Slusher of Wentzville, Missouri snapped this while on vacation in Victoria (Canada).

(How long ’til it’s summer again?)

How Many Pilots Does It Take … ?

Jake Bell of Danville, Kentucky assures us that yes, “they’re all pilots and that’s at an airport.” Is it any wonder we love this photo?
