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.” As we dive head first into the AOPA Expo in Hartford, Connecticut, we find ourselves staring down the barrel of 130 top-drawer reader-submitted photos. With the show hanging over our heads and so many great photos to sort (and somehow choose between) we’ll waste no time cutting to the chase. As soon as things slow down, we’ll load up our home page slideshow with the best photos from the last two weeks that we couldn’t share here in “POTW” proper. (Wanda Zuege of Custer, Wisconsin is currently using this photo to remind pilots at Stevens Point Airport of the October festivities planned for them.)
