copyright Sparky Barnes Sargent |
Smokin’ Tailwheels in the Twilight Sparky Barnes Sargent of Washington, Oklahoma kicks off this week’s festivities and joins the select ranks of our two-time “POTW” winners. (Sparky took the top spot back in 2006 with a Sun ‘n Fun photo that still makes us regret never making it out to the night-time air show.) Seriously, it’s worth rooting around in our “Picture of the Week” archives from time to time! | ||||||||

Used with permission of Per Erik Pfingst | Late Summer Afternoon in EDXD
Direct from the cell phone of Per Erik Pfingst of Huede, Lower Saxony (Germany) comes this solid variation on a favorite theme. (It’s already found a home on our PC as our latest desktop wallpaper image.) | ||||||||

Used with permission of Timothy O’Connor | “I Thought YOU Were the Instructor!”
We always get a chuckle from the comments Timothy O’Connor of Batavia, Ohio attaches to his submissions – and with good reason, since he apparently enlists the whole gang in his flying group to come up with ’em! Tim and his posse had quite a few suggestions for this one, but our favorite was this one:

–
A quick note for submitters: If you’ve got several photos that you feel are “POTW” material, your best bet is to submit them one-a-week! That gives your photos a greater chance of seeing print on AVweb, and it makes the selection process a little easier on us, too. 😉
A Reminder About Copyrights:
Please take a moment to consider the source of your image before submitting to our “Picture of the Week” contest. If you did not take the photo yourself, ask yourself if you are indeed authorized to release publication rights to AVweb. If you’re uncertain, consult the POTW Rules or or send us an e-mail.
