Key Takeaways:

AVweb hosts a weekly "Picture of the Week" (POTW) contest featuring reader-submitted aviation photographs.
Each week, numerous submitted photos are reviewed, with the best ones showcased in a gallery and one top photo awarded an *AVweb* baseball cap.
The article displays an embedded gallery presenting a collection of aviation photos, each with a caption providing details like the subject, photographer, location, and often technical camera information.
Readers are encouraged to submit their own aviation photos to participate in the weekly POTW contest.

It was taken with a Nikon D-200 at 1/200 and F-16 . It was metered on the low sun to produce intentional backlighting and highlighting of the dust.
