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.

Hi everybody! First of all, sorry for last Monday ... I totally forgot about writing the article!
You may have noticed that we are close from reaching 20,000 pictures on the website; I would lie to you if I told you we were not preparing something for the occasion.
But before that, we still have to show you the team's choice for this week!
Let's start then! First of all, Swiss Air Force's F/A-18. Many thanks to Marc-André V. for those awesome shots (the steam on the wings ... WOW ...)!
Then, we will see the airliners: from an ATR-42 by night to an un painted A330 (in tests) intended to be for Avianca.
Then, before I show you the rest, I would like to put a picture taken at Tours, France in 1970: a French Air Force Mystère IV-A, which is not so common!
Eventually, what we have left is the photos taken at air shows; among the shots, you will see my favourite photo of the week: a sepia shot of a Corsair and her pilot.
We do hope that you enjoyed this week's choice. Do not hesitate to leave comments telling us what your favourite pictures are.
See you very soon; first with an article on the 20,000th photo, then for our next weekly Screeners' Choice.
For this week, we have chose a sample of Thomas B.'s old planes photos, taken for instance at the Duxford Air Show, in the United Kingdom. The team has chosen some of his pictures unanimously! Congratulations!
Amazingly, we also have two photos of helicopters! It is rare enough to notice it!
The first one is a "Dauphin" belonging to the the French Navy, and taken by night, therefore showing a special effect; the second one is smaller and completely yellow!
Let's continue with the airliners and alike (such as a French E-3F Sentry). No very large aircraft such as 747s and A380s today. We can see here one of AirAsia's A320 at dusk, a very colourful Air Bashkortostan (yes, Bashkortostan ... I wrote it properly!!) 757 or one of Air Méditerranée's A321 being parked.
Our choice is now over. We hope you enjoyed our selection. See you next week for our weekly Screeners' Choice.
Here comes our choice for the week:
First of all, here are a few pictures about smaller planes. Among those, a Yak-3 and two close-ups on a Cirrus SR-20 and a Piper PA-28.
Then, you can see a French Air Force Alpha Jet ...
This is where we come to the airliners, with great shots!
Among others, Qantas's first A380, one of Kingfisher's many A340s, Triple Sevens, a DC-10 at dusk, etc ...
That's what we had in our basket today! See you soon for our next weekly Screeners' Choice.
