Pilot Waves Goodbye

It´s a polite manner to say goodbye, but I am not certain about this one.

The pilot waves goodbye with the whole plane that happens to be a Boeing 747! The captain dramatically dips wings from side to side, just seconds after take-off in this highly skilled stunt. This odd and spectacular manoeuvre was performed at Paine Field airport, in Washington, US. The “goodbye” manoeuvre is traditionally done by cargo planes on their maiden voyage to say ‘goodbye’ to the home airport where it was made.
