Uh, you must be in a different Zulu timezone.

Gear up, no wing wave though.
Was thinking the same thing. His check airman letter would probably be pulled if he did the wing wave these days though.

I was asked to do a photo pass while taking an empty plane out of one of the Boeing facilities years ago. I sheepishly declined, didn't have written authorization, felt bad until some foreign chief pilot got fired a few weeks later for doing a pass out of the same facility with the boss on board.

It's no longer the good old days when it was easier to get forgiveness than permission.
