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.” “POTW” submissions climb back into the skies this week, with more great photos rolling into our submission box. So many new photos, in fact, that we’re running a little behind this week, so we’ll jump right in with little fanfare. This week’s top photo is also our “suggested desktop wallpaper of the week,” and it comes to us from the prolific Josh Cawthra.

At 103 years old (104 this Sunday!), Rose Marie Schiltz took herfirst flight in a brand-new Cirrus SR22-G3. Thanks to Cirrus Design's Kate Dougherty(of Duluth, Minnesota), who took time to submit this photo - probablyknowing there was no way we could pass it up. As Kate points out,Rose is seven months older than human flight, so (to our way ofthinking), it's the airline industry that's finally catching up to her lead. Happy 104th, Rose! And to the rest of you -send morepictures! :) | |||||||||||||
