AVweb’s Picture of the Week …
As we browse through each week’s submissions to our “POTW” contest, we can’t help looking for themes and connections. This week’s batch, for example, had an exceptionally high percentage of shots taken on the ground at the airport. That’s nothing unusual, but a quick count shows that nearly 3/4 of this week’s submissions were taken at airports and hangars. Not that we’re complaining – quite the opposite, in fact. This week’s entries were so high-quality that it took us longer than usual to sort through them and pick a winner. (The winner in question is Chris Starnes of Gate City, Virginia.)
