AVweb’s Picture of the Week …

Seaplanes and air shows and fighters and – well, you just wouldn’t believe the great stuff we got in the “POTW” contest this week! And as much as we hate to repeat a theme the very next week, we just had to award this week’s grand prize (an authentic AVweb staff baseball hat) to Lacey Hartje for his dynamic ultralight photo. EAA readers, take note – this is the kind of shot that belongs on a Sport Pilot brochure!
