There've been several, the first I mentioned on another thread. Two WW1 fighters fighting it out on the deck one evening after a days filming.

A recce F4 flypast at an airshow so low that the the commentators felt the heat of his burners.

A flypast of four F15's followed by a vertical climb which clearly demonstrated their better than 1 to 1 thrust weight ratio, reaching a contrailing MEA airliner overhead so fast that the Captain reported he was being attacked.

More prosaic but not less low than a Bandeiante so low it was fortunate that he had his gear up. I have a photo of this one. Even now I can't believe it.
