I agree with JW411. This looks like a well flown fly past to me.

I have only been involved with one fly past in a 747 (EGPK 20/8/88). We had to submit detailed plans to the CAA including calculations of minimum heights and bank angles. We then had to fly the agreed procedure in the simulator before obtaining CAA approval. All this for an event that lasted only a few seconds.

If it is flown with only the (consenting) crew on board and the event has been well planned then I can't see the harm in it.
