I recall as a kid on the roof of my uncle's house watching an F104 doing some training at the nearby local military base. We managed to get the pilot's attention and he came up and made a slow speed turn around us. A few minutes later we were buzzed by two prop driven trainers flying in formation just 10ft above us. Happy days.
I remain in awe of the F104 pocket rocket, the view of the one parked out the back of the Athens military museum when arriving by bus from the main airport to my hotel never fails to impress me.
