Video: Wild Boeing 747-8 Takeoff
It's not unusual for pilots to wave their wings after takeoff on special occasions, but a Boeing 747-8 freighter on a delivery flight from Paine Field recently took the maneuver to a new level when it performed the wave just after the wheels left the pavement.

Remember Independance Day. Maybe his bit of paper was upside down to and he just turned it back!!??
Good stuff. It certainly kept the snappers happy!
Cheers

would not wish to fly with that jocky.stuff that mate
Seeing as it's a cargo carrier and not a passenger carrier the only way you would fly with them is as cargo, in a box, and I doubt you'd really care at that point.

awesome
Yish, Settle down folks
A - More than likely a Planned Event and well briefed before takeoff.
B - Light loaded 747-8, going to Seatac a whole 50 miles or so south, so more than likely very minimum fuel in the tanks.
Ive flown the sim on light loads and I can tell you this plane accelerates in a hurry light loaded, I could be at departure alt before I hit the end of the runway. I bet he was well above 3 engine min control speed when he did this, and held it down before rotate.
Its normal for most to wave goodbye
