When I was in the AIRTC we did a few visits to the Evans Head bombing range and got to sit up on the hill and observe them doing bombing runs with practice bombs.
At one point we got told to climb up onto one of the buildings and one of the cadets was given a large fluoro orange sign with an exclamation point on it to hold up. The F-111 headed south down around Yamba and came straight back up the coast at low level, lined up right on the sign and did a high speed pass at what seemed to be 200 ft. The noise as it hit felt like it could knock the wind out of you.
Also my kids first introduction to aircraft was at the Richmond Air show - as we got off the bus the F111 was doing a low pass followed quickly by a dump and burn - this was the first aircraft they had seen up close....
