Boeing 747 -8F Cargolux Airlines’ freighter performing a crazy wings swing-bye during take-off on its delivery flight from Paine Field Airport.
Mostly all big heavies that get delivered from PAE do the ‘wing wave’ as a thankful gesture during delivery flight to their destination airbase but, they do so only when they have climbed to almost 2000 ft or higher and attained a sufficient speed. The ‘wing wave’ is mostly done to say goodbye as the airplane will never see the home airport again (where it was made). But in this case, surprisingly, the Cargolux Boeing 747 -8F performed it immediately after leaving the ground when it was too low and at a slower speed which appeared to be quite dangerous and unusual.
But I think the pilots spotted a spider in the cockpit and freaked out.
Nothing “Dangerous” about that! Basicaly an EMPTY plane with only crew and fuel on board, TONS of power! No big deal! Looked like fun!
