As BARKINGMAD says, it's been done in the past. As a controller many years ago I sometimes got involved with asking an aircraft I was controlling if it would mind allowing the mill to try to find it on behalf of some mil training facility. Most said yes. But that was a long time before many passengers were so aware (or cared) about what happened through their windows. These days I suspect if the flightdeck made a PA to say that a mil aircraft or two would formate with them for training most passengers wouldn't believe them.
I'm not ashamed to say "I don't know the current rules, in Austria, the US, worldwide".
That's why I'm asking those who know better than I do.
