Some other good flybys from my deployments:

A-3 below flight deck with a crewmember standing with upper torso out of the overhead hatch and holding a US flag.

Russian TU-95 Bear flying opposite landing traffic downwind during the recovery. Planes scattered everywhere.

E-2 low flyby followed by pull-up and aileron roll/dome over.

Any RA-5C supersonic flyby. There was a reason it was designed with cover plates over the tailhook and I think it even had a retractable anit-collision light.

F-4 low enough over water would leave a good roostertail. A bit lower and the centerline would get scrapped off.

I remember Catania tower asking me for a flyby (we had a det at Sigonella) and asked him how high. His reply - "No higher than 500' and a-a-n-n-y-y airspeed."
