Thanks guys. Been wanting to get this shot for a while, total bonus that it was with a boat-marked Harrier.

From a two-ship departure today at Willie - the coolest wing-dip/nod to us picture takers I've had out there.

In the second photo, notice the commercial traffic in the upper right - way in the background?  Gives you an idea of how much he dipped his wing for/at us.  No camera tilt involved in this series, that's all pilot stuff.

Nice, if he comes back you should give him a cookie. Or a beer. Something....
