We received over 100 pictures last week. Congratulations to this week’s winner, Christopher Snow, of Glendale, Ariz. His picture titled “Starship Graveyard” captures a rather unusual and eerie sight. Raytheon recently started scrapping the remainder of the Beech Starship fleet and our winner happen to come by the temporary holding area for the fateful aircraft. On Nov 11, 03 he flew his Cessna 152 Aerobat from Phoenix (DVT) down to Pinal Airpark (MZJ) to take some pictures of Starships in a desert graveyard waiting to be parted out and scraped. Great picture, Christopher! Your AVweb hat is on the way.
