Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
Your AirVenture photos continue to dominate the “POTW” submission box! This one, from John E. Rees of Blacklick, Ohio, is our latest baseball cap winner (and, incidentally, our current desktop wallpaper).

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.

Jack Fleetwood of Round Rock, Texas submitted several eye-popping photos this week, but this simple shot of a barn-cum-hangar set our imaginations humming. We'll sneak our second favorite of Jack's shots into the slideshow on AVweb's home page. Be sure to check for it. | |||||||||||||

It's back to AirVenture for another visit with the AeroShell Aerobatic Team - from a slightly different angle. Lafayette, Colorado's John Flavin writes:

On a flight back to Pollock Pines, California from Washington state, Ney Grant stopped for the night in Chiloguin, Oregon. "I had dinner across the street at Melitas Cafe," writes Ney, "then put my tent up for the night under the wing." That warm red glow in the northwestern night? Ney settling in by the light of his pilot's flashlight. | |||||||||||||

The only thing we love more than a good airplane photo from Oshkosh is one with a story behind it. Enter Caity Happ of Sandy, Utah:

Want more? You'll find a dozen or so bonus pictures in the "POTW" slideshow on AVweb's home page. They don't appear anywhere else, and they'll disappear beneath the waves of time when we update the slideshow next week, so don't miss 'em.
Click here to submit your own photos to "POTW." (Because we want to see them!)
-
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.
