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.” Bill Howard of Milton-Freewater, Oregon shot this photo from the window of his airport hotel room – and now it’s our “Picture of the Week.” In fact, this is the first “POTW” to feature a sunset in a while! Watch your mailbox, Bill. We’ll be sending an official, sharp-as-a-tack new AVweb cap your way in the next few days.
