I grew up working at a airshow every summer.
The shows were great but on the day after, when the planes were leaving they
would do a pass by the tower and dip their wings.
I was 8 or 9 and my father took me out in front of the tower and told me to
waive and the planes would dip their wings back to me. I'll always have VERY
vivid memories of standing out on the tarmac waving at the planes and having
them "wave" back...
