Now here's an idea--if a obviously "military" flyover is too much, and F1 really wants to save fuel, how about fly over the chartered freighters instead? They're probably parked at an airfield nearby for the weekend, so no need to burn fuel on a ferry flight. A couple 747s in loose formation at low altitude* would be sufficiently impressive, at least to me.
*Yes I know it's a bad idea from an aviation safety perspective.
