Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
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.” Bob Steinbauer of Billings, Montana sent in this photo snapped by Jason Newby, which takes the top spot as our “Picture of the Week.” Watch your inbox, Bob: We’ll sending a pair of hats – one for you and one for Jason.

Semi-regular contributor Jeff Randall of Clyde, Texas returned this week with a batch of great photos - but none captured our imagination like this long line of troops filing into a DC-10 at 3:15am "bound for Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina, and then on to Iraq."
