This Condor ‘Beige Beach’ Airbus A330 pilot performed a heart-stopping wing wave stunt with cargo onboard.
The footage was captured on May 22, as the plane departed from Frankfurt International and headed south to Zurich, Switzerland.
Watching the maneuver from the ground is enough to make your stomach do backflips.
So we can only imagine how scary it was to be on the plane at the time.

We’ve seen a lot of airplanes take on spine-tingling stunts.
You may recall that the Airbus Beluga proved it was more than just a peculiar plane when it linked up with the French Air Force acrobatic team.
And there was the A380 Airbus that took on some ‘unthinkable’ stunts at the Farnborough Airshow.
There’s been quite a few hair-raisers at the UK airshow over the years.
Remember the time that an A380 basically did a steep nosedive, and looked as if it was falling out of the sky?
How could we forget?
These planes are performing the most extreme stunts this side of Tom Cruise’s filmography.
At any rate, a recent flight departing from Frankfurt International to Zurich Airport got a lot of attention for a stunt performed at take-off.
Nobody was onboard the plane besides the pilots, but that doesn’t make this move any less impressive.
The Condor ‘Beige Beach’ livery 18th Airbus A330-941N did a ‘wing wave’ shortly after lifting off.
This is a maneuver which is intended to signal farewell or thank you.
It’s well-intended and looks great from the ground.
But can you imagine being onboard a plane when that happens?
Your arm rest might have some indents after it’s over.
On another note, the A330 was sporting the beach livery that was unveiled a few years back.
Condor’s striped look comes in different colors, including green, yellow, red, blue, beige, and green.
These beach-inspired liveries are featured on A321s, B757s, and A330s.
A day at the beach may have inspired the look, but being onboard the plane during a wing wave certainly wouldn’t have felt like one.
