Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
Our fingers and toes are feeling the winter chill, but a torrent of new photos from readers around the globe warmed our heart this week. Before we dive in, special thanks to everyone who took time to type out detailed descriptions of their photos. We only have time to run a few of them here each week, and we realize that it must seem like you’re typing into a vacuum sometimes when you’re submitting those forms. Believe us, we read all your comments, and if we came anywhere close to having the time, we’d try to respond to them. That said, we do appreciate all you have to say. (And we learned a PhotoShop trick or two!) Rob Neil of Amberley, New Zealand gets things off this ground with this awesome helicopter pic. As the editor of Pacific Wings magazine, Rob is no stranger to photos of aircraft – and if he’s anything like the editors of our sister magazines, he’ll appreciate someone sending him hat in the mail. (‘Cause he probably doesn’t have time to run to the mall, folks!)

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.
