AVweb’s Picture of the Week …

Remember: You could win a cap of your very own by submitting your best aviation photos. We’ll run the best of them right here on AVweb (in front of a couple million astonished eyeballs) and award one baseball cap to the best of the best.

"Join Us for a Ride - If You Dare"
Christian Hauser of Vienna, Austria earns top honors

in Zeltweg. "I have to admit," writes Christian, "I like my new
Canon EOS 20D." Here's hoping you get more shots with
that camera, Chris - and that you share 'em with the rest of us!

"First Turbine Helicycle Flying in Australia"
Greg Poole of Castle Hill, New South Wales (Australia)
sends us this photo taken by fellow association member Steve de Wit.
Both Greg and Steve belong to Chapter 11 of the Sport Aircraft
Association of Australia (SAAA), which hosted this meeting to
welcome the first Helicycle to fly in Australia. According to Greg,
this Helicycle (built by Hermann Roesch) has been followed by
others, with ten total Helicycles currently in Australia.

"Arctic Sunrise"
Bill Whitney of Soldotna, Alaska
took off his heavy woollen gloves long
enough to capture the sunrise over
Endicott Island in early May. This one went
straight to our desktop wallpaper file ... .

"Patrolling the Front"
Jim Gordon of Fayetteville, Georgia
submitted our other favorite classic paint job
of the week: Pilot Ron Glover "flying tight

experimental homebuilt." Tight formation, indeed!

"High, Low, Fast, Slow"
From experimentals to a tried-and-true
(but still not certificated) design, we thought
it appropriate to close this week's installment
with two gulls and a jet from Jud Phillips
of Nashville, Tennessee. The gulls were
designed and built in Edisto Island, South
Carolina, where they held their own air show.
