Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
As we mentioned Thursday, a time crunch kept us from serving up last week’s batch of reader-submitted photos. Not to worry, though – we’ve got them all here, and, as usual, you’ll find even more rockin’ bonus pics in the slideshow on AVweb‘s home page. Gary Landgraf of Brentwood, California kicks off the festivities this ruff and tumble passenger, Scooter.

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? Click here to submit it to our weekly contest.

"Every year, the kids 'decorate' an airplane with TP" at the MAAC Fly-In (in Brodhead, Wisconsin). Stan Lindholm of Westlake, Ohio insists it's "considered an honor to be the victim!" We're curious to see if Stan will feel the same next year when it's his bird under all that Cottonelle. (Er, just to be clear: AVweb is in no way affiliated with the papering of classic biplanes.) | |||||||||||||

James M. Payne of Grand Blanc, Michigan serves up a great sign-off photo for this week. (If you're wondering where this particular pot o' gold can be found, James tells us it's the Flushing Dalton Airport.) | |||||||||||||

You'll find more reader-submitted photos in the slideshow on AVweb's home page. Don't miss 'em - it's a good crop!
-
A quick note for submitters: If you've got several photos that you feel are "POTW" material, your best bet is to submit them one-a-week! That gives your photos a greater chance of seeing print on AVweb, and it makes the selection process a little easier on us, too. ;)
A Reminder About Copyrights:
Please take a moment to consider the source of your image before submitting to our "Picture of the Week" contest. If you did not take the photo yourself, ask yourself if you are indeed authorized to release publication rights to AVweb. If you're uncertain, consult the POTW Rules or or send us an e-mail.
