One of the most incredible things I've seen an aircraft do was during some
kind of celebration, like an anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, perhaps.
Two Harriers (British craft launched from the Invincible?) flew at low speed
up to the front of the Statue of Liberty, turned 90 degrees to face it,
*bowed* (dropped the nose and returned to horizontal), then turned back and
flew off. A very moving and spectacular maneuver.
