In 1989 (I think) the Federal gov wouldn't approve a request for a RAAF flyover during the Adelaide Grand Prix so one of the Adelaide MP's asked a mate in the US airforce in Singapore if they would come down and do some flyovers. Of course the yanks said hell yea we'll send a couple of the boys down. This was just before the Gulf War, the F/A 18 flyovers looked like they were doing simulated bombing runs over the city, low and fast from the hills banking between the buildings very cool to watch.
The MP got roasted for going around the Feds budget restrictions, but didn't do anything illegal LOL.
