The Latest News From AVweb:
Picture of the Week: AVweb's Flying Photography Showcase
Bob Rybak of Saunderstown, Rhode Island kicks off the summertime fun with an air show photo from the Rhode Island National Guard's recent affair. As this week's top photo contributor, Bob will get an official AVweb baseball cap to shade his eyes during the next weekend air show he gets out to visit. Submissions remain high this week as we sit between the long weekends of Canada Day and U.S. Independence Day. That means we get a three-day weekend, an excuse to eat way more barbecue than anyone should, and plenty of great airplane pictures to show off on our PDA while we wander around outdoors looking for the mustard. And better still, AirVenture is only weeks away! But don't worry ? you can enjoy the same great photos as us while sitting in front of your computer, even if work prevents you from taking a day off (or good sense prevents you from gorging yourself).
Question of the Week: What Level of Performance Would Tempt You to Go Electric?
With fuel prices constantly on the rise, we've been getting a lot of QOTW suggestions from readers about alternative power. This week, we have one from Bruce B., who sent us a rather specific list of characteristics and wonders if any of these might tempt AVweb readers to make the jump to a battery-powered electric airplane. Plus: The shocking result of last week's Question, "At what fuel price would you quit flying?"
