AVweb’s Picture of the Week …
Welcome to another installment of AVweb’s “Picture of the Week.” If you’re new to this feature, here’s how it works: Every week we sort through dozens of amateur aviation photos submitted by our readers, pick our favorites, and fight bitterly amongst ourselves until one lucky contestant stands as the undisputed winner. Then we peek to see who sent in the winning picture and mail him or her an Official AVweb Baseball Cap. (This week’s cap goes to Jack Cook of Salem, Oregon.)

Welcome to another installment of AVweb's "Picture of the Week."
If you're new to this feature, here's how it works: Every week we sort through dozens of amateur aviation photossubmitted by our readers, pick our favorites, and fight bitterly amongst ourselves until one lucky contestant stands as the undisputed winner. Then we peek to see who sent in the winning picture and mail him or her an Official AVweb Baseball Cap.
This week's most common themes: Warbirds and air shows - sure signs that spring is around the corner!
Due to privacy issues, AVweb does not publish e-mail addresses of readers who submit photos.

"Probable Cause"
Bill Newhall of Boulder, Colorado writes,
"I took this photo at a great little hunting and
skeet shooting club and resort called the Runaway Inn"
during a Colorado Pilots Association fly-in. "Note that we
really did stop shooting when airplanes were taking off."
