Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
The number of submissions to our weekly photo contest may have crept up again this week – but the quality skyrocketed! With so many gorgeous photos in our submission box, we’re jumping straight to the goods. (Watch for an extra-large batch of bonus pics in this week’s slideshow on our home page.) With a scene so evocative we can hardly believe it was taken “in the backyard of a client’s house,” Justin Heitman of Airlie Beach, Queensland (Australia) claims the top spot today. Justin and crew were “on the way to a helicopter safari with 11 helicopters traveling through Tasmania” when he snapped this on his Nikon.

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.

You don't need to remind us of that fact, Leonard Duncil of Titusville, Florida! We've already made our hotel reservations, started registering for press passes, and trying to remember where we packed away our short pants! We'll see you (and these Iron Eagles you were so kind to snap) in just a few weeks, friend! | |||||||||||||

Gerald Benson of Alva, Oklahoma sees us off this week, with a shot of Terry Strickland blowing smoke in his Fisher Celebrity. Terry saw the pic on AVweb and wrote in to tell us "the smoke system is my own design."
Until next time - have a little fun of your own (and take pictures)! | |||||||||||||

-
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 thePOTW Rules ororsend us an e-mail.
