Wow I give aviation week all my best pictures for them to use for free forever, and even sell to others! And I pay them 50 dollars too just in the hope that I may get some recognition if i win a piffling prize and almost certainly won`t get when they use their sudden influx of quality stock images donated by desperate photographers. This has to be the worst rights grab I`ve ever seen!
