Saw this shot on the Internet today:
Apparently the story is that the Air Force gave permission for this FA-18 to buzz part of downtown Detroit while practicing for a fly-by of some speedboat race they're scheduled to have. It reminded me of my own close encounter with an Air Force jet years ago while driving along the Interstate through the desert in Utah. Apparently, to break up the day, some bored Air Force pilot decided to buzz the highway at about 30 feet doing, oh, 600 mph. I don't have a picture of that, the jet passed literally in the 'blink of an eye', though the jet-wash that followed a second later nearly blew my car off the road (really).
