On behalf of the whole team, I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year for 2009; which - we hope - will bring you (and your family) success and good health.
We had a great year in 2008 with you; it was our first full year, having started in September 2007. Thanks to your faithfulness and a great number of visits, you have proved that the existence of a multi-language website about aircraft photo sharing was possible, with a different approach compared to other sites.
Thanks to your comments, remarks and reports, we have done our best to improve our screening procedures by trying to being aware of all types of pictures. We have been able to provide you with a fast and quality screening procedure thanks to our team of (seven) screeners.
2009 will see the continuation of our efforts, hoping you will continue your journey with us.
Sometimes, within the team, we must be reading each other's minds, or at least we must have the same thoughts at the same time! For instance, this week, amongst the thirteen pictures that have been chosen, four were taken by night or at dusk. It is true that it looks awesome, but it is quite amazing to know that we have all picked at least one like that!
Before we continue, I would like to have a special thought for the victims of the Air New Zealand aircraft that crashed last week in the Mediterranean Sea; hoping to have more news in the days to come.
And now, let's move onto General Aviation with, among others, a wonderful shot of a Bücker 131 flying over the water.
Eventually, we have a few airliners; small ones such as a Swiss Air Ambulance Challenger 604 and huge ones with the interior of an Antonov An-124.
That shall be all for today. I hope you will have a good week, seeing you next Monday for our weekly Screeners' Choice.
This week's choice is mainly composed of airliners, as it may happen once in a while. I'd rather start with other aircraft then. So, here are military aircraft to start with; a Mirage 2000 taken at sunset, a French Army Puma and a Swiss F-5.
Then, before we pass onto the "heavies", here is a Pitts S-2 Special seen from behind.
And now, as promised, here are the airliners; ten pictures have been chosen by the team. Among them, a Yak-42, A319s (one of which is a wonderful Germanwings A319!) and A320s, or A330s.
We do hope you have enjoyed our choice this week. Do not hesitate to leave us comments with your favourite photos to be able to add them to the Starred Photos. See you on Monday for our next weekly Screeners' Choice.
We are back after a long time. I need to explain why such thing happened. I was on holiday at my mum's when there was a malware attack on her computer. Unfortunately, my hard drive was plugged too and it was infected. I spent 3 weeks trying to fix things on it and it worls well once again (finally!!!).
So, here is this week's choice, which is actually the whole month's selection!
Let's start with airliners: one of Air New Zealand's 737s, a Fed Ex A310 and the last prototype of Airbus A380 still flying.
Then, two aircraft belonging to the Spanish Air Force; a C-101 Aviojet and an F/A-18 Hornet.
Before we finish, my colleagues chose a DC-3 Dakota bearing the colours of CSA. Many thanks to Mirek KUBICEK for the shot!
Finally, here comes General Aviation with a Votec 322, a Nord 3202 and a shot of the Sainte Victoire Mount (dear to French painter Cézanne) seen from a Robin DR-360.
This week's article is now over. See you on next Monday for our weekly Screeners' Choice.
Here we are ... 20,000 photos on the website ...
It took us 10 months to reach 10,000 pictures ... and only 5 moonths to have another 10,000!
Well done to you all; first for your faithfulness, and we hope that Pictaero.com reaches your expectations; then, for your photos, because what is at the core of Pictaero.com is picture sharing; finally, for your comments, since they are a great reward for us!
You must know that we are a team composed of aviation fans and we spend most of our free time dealing with Pictaero.com; So, seeing more and more members seing more and more pictures really touches us. We feel that what we are doing is at least quite useful!
Now, we will expect the 50,000th photo before we can congratulate ourselves! 
We will do as much as we can to improve Pictaero.com from what you tell us.
Oh, I have nearly forgotten about the 20,000th picture which was accepted...
It is an Air Berlin 757-200, taken at Zurich airport. The photographer is Pascal S.
For this occasion, we have decided to launch our own "Pictaero shop (only in French for the moment) ... You can find T-shirts, caps or stickers ...
For the photographer who was lucky enough to have the 20,000th picture online, we are offering him either a T-shirt or a cap. We do hope he can send a photo of him wearing it!
Many thanks to you all.
