📸 Enjoy this sampling of early entries from this year’s Aviation Week Photo Contest.

A trend we are seeing already is photos tied to unique events that are occurring this year, such as the total solar eclipse over continental Europe, the first since 1999, and the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.

If you are an aerospace photographer, be sure to find your best work from the past year and submit your entries at AviationWeek.com/photo-contest (link in the bio).

The Best of the Best winner will receive a Tamron 150-500-mm lens valued at $1,499. Winners also will receive enhanced cash prizes this year.

Good Luck!
