There’s something very heart-warming about the human side to aviation, and these Airbus A350-1000 pilots giving a little wave before performing an incredible take-off is sweet to behold.
The pilot’s wave to the cameraperson at Manchester Airport screams self-assurance and confidence.
The take off was seamless and the way the landing gear went up in the video glided as smooth as butter.
You can’t help but want to wave back when you see the pilot waving from the cockpit of his Airbus A350-100.
