Only one more day to cast your vote for POTY 2016, please take a moment (if you haven't already).

Well, unless my math skills are degrading at a faster rate than originally thought, it would appear that Mr. Youmans has produced the AzAP POTY for 2016.  Well done Scott.  An exceptional image for a multitude of reasons.  It contains the attributes and creative elements I would associate with extraordinary photography, especially in the aviation genre.  The image clearly shows off your talent and vision as an accomplished shooter.  Again, well done my friend.

[Anna M. Wood]

Will done Scott.....  Congratulations.

A spectacular image!!!

[Scott Youmans]

Holy Mackerel Batmen and Batwomen! Thank you very much! And thank you Joe for doing some heavy lifting on the arrangements. I almost got zero photos on that flight for reasons I won't go into here but thankfully what I got turned out pretty well. Thanks again all.

[Joe Copalman]

Congrats Scott!  And another instance of "I was right next to you but totally missed this shot of an F-35 over sand dunes."  It's like you've got a third eye or something.

[Tower Guy]

Nicely done my friend, great shot and a well deserved win, congrats!

[Matt Ottosen]

Congratulations Scott!  Your F-35 image is awesome, and very deserving of being the 2016 POTY!

[Chris V]

Congrats!

[Jay Beckman]

Congrats Scott!

[Chris Janes]

Nice work Scott, congrats!!

[Scott Youmans]

Thanks to all! There's something slightly comical about the POTY acronym. Nonetheless, honored to be the recipient.

[John S]

Congrats Scott!

Thanks to all! There's something slightly comical about the POTY acronym. Nonetheless, honored to be the recipient.

Just be happy that we haven't gone with the original award idea which involved the use of a toilet seat.
