I was at the St. Louis Riverfront for the 4th of July several years back. Maybe 2007? The usual large crowd had gathered for the fireworks. To kick off the fireworks, at the end of our National Anthem, an Air National Guard F-15 screamed in low, over the crowd, and when it got just past the Arch and over the river (Mississippi River), hit the dual afterburners and pulled up hard, climbing several thousand feet straight up. The approving roar of the crowd was exceeded only by the roar of the plane. :-)
That sounds fantastic!
One would have to be there to get the full effect.
