Many pictures this week. Over 120 photographs were accepted!
Unlike other articles, let's start with military aircraft, with a wonderful High Res picture of a Transall cockpit!
However, airliners are more popular.
Many thanks to Antonio and Domenico for their Beluga pictures:

That is all for this week. I hope you enjoyed our selection. See you next week!
We are back for our Screeners' Choice second edition.
Let us start with civilian aircraft.
First of all, a short series on the A380. F-WWSH wil be the first aircraft to be delivered to Emirates. As for F-WWJB, she went to Asia for Hong-Kong's Asian Aerospace air show.
From the newest to the oldest: first the A340-600 and the Piaggio P-180 Avanti, then the Antonov An-2P. Check also the first newly purchased A320 for Go Air (Indian company).
Finally, a few military wonders. Rafale, Eurofighter and Hurricane added to the selection.
That is all for this week. Do not hesitate to post comments and rate the pictures!
See you next week!

Every week, and according to the pictures we receive, we will provide you with the team's favourite pictures. They may not be the best rated ones or the most popular ones; they are just those we have enjoyed during the week!
Every team member has selected a few photographs for this week. Here is the result below. Would you have favourite pictures and would you like to show them to the others, do not forget to vote for them by logging in and go to the photograph's commentary page.
However, if a picture receives a great amount of votes, we will probably get interested in it!
Photographs are listed in categories; that may often be the case. Pictaero team members have different interests and preferences as for aviation. Some may choose military aviation while others will turn to civilian planes.
First of all, fighting planes are everybody's favourites! When the light and the composition are done, all you have to do is wait for the artist in the flight deck to pose for us:
The A380 is not bad either. Our photographers were able to take it at the Paris air show.
Then, some liveries and colour schemes can be very attractive, especially if those planes are nto common. For instance, it is the case for this Germanwings A319.
Finally, there are pictures that cannot be categorised. They are beautiful although the plane in itself is not particularly interesting or rare.It is however not the case for the Airbus A340-600 belonging to Etihad, reflecting the evening light.As for the Lockheed Jetstar, its composition gives it a kind of "je ne sais quoi".
And do not forget that Pictaero is not only about planes; it is about aircraft, helicopters among others.
That is all for this week. Do not hesitate to upload more pictures this week and be part of the second edition of our screeners' choice next week!
