or go to South Africa, where they welcome you to shoot approaches into Jan Smuts Capetown!
Done that one, great fun, had to orbit the PA28-140 to let a MD in, then a high approach to avoid the wake and crossed the bows of a waiting 747 eyes about level with the flight crew's (landing long for a quick exit). He lined up whilst I completed the landing and straight off behind me.

But the big buz was the Lightning and Buc taxiing for take off, haven't seen that since Coltishall and Leconfield in the early 70's. Also heard the sonic boom from a later flight... if only...
