Duke took the camera off his RCU (Remote Control Unit) bracket, gave it to Young and they traded places for this picture showing Duke saluting.

120:26:05 Young: I’d like to see an Air Force salute, Charlie, but I don’t think they salute in the Air Force.
120:26:08 Duke: Yes, sir; we do.
120:26:09 Young: (Laughing)
120:26:10 Duke: And fly high and straight and land soft.
120:26:13 Young: Okay, Charlie, say when.
120:26:15 Duke: Here we go.
120:26:16 Young: Do it again.
120:26:17 Duke: One for you. Okay, wait a minute; one more.

“The LMP Charles Duke honors the flag, the Nation, and the American people in this salute to the Stars and Stripes. Stone Mountain, 5 km in the distance and approximately 500 m higher than the landing site, forms the skyline behind the astronaut. The Lunar Rover is parked near the LM. The far- UV camera/spectrograph sits on a tripod partially shaded by the shadow of the LM” (NASA SP-315, p. 4.9)
