Interaction with your subjects, whether it be a pilot, a caterpillar or a baby is always a really cool thing to experience.
While I was shooting surf pics at Ala Moana Bowls a few TransPac racing yachts were pulling into Ala Wai Harbor and as they were cruising through the harbor entrance I prompted them to wave the "shaka" sign and I guess because they were at the end of a punishing journey across the Pacific Ocean they were very relieved and jubilant and really hammed it up like your pilot did such that I got some really good pics, one of which got put in our local newspaper and a few others got put up on the TransPac website.
Like you, I was the only one there taking pics of them. Lucky you, lucky me.
