It would obviously cost more to get there , but another possibility is the Olympic Flight Museum at Olympia , Washington State.
You can get a 20-25 minute flight in a Mustang for around $600 , which I believe is a lot cheaper than Kissimmee.
“Are there any restrictions with regards to flying alongside commercial vessels that would need to be waived/approved?”
If there are , someone should tell the Red Arrows. At the Tall Ships event at Portsmouth last year , one of the synchro pair went shooting past an incoming P & 0 Ferry quite close at about funnel height. I remember wishing that I had been on the ferry at the time.
Back in 1999 , during construction of the British Airways sponsored ‘London Eye’ Ferris Wheel , the planned raising into an upright position had to be delayed due to technical problems. The next day , Richard Branson arranged for an airship to fly over London with ‘BA can’t get it up’ written on the side.
The RNZAF seem to be following the tradition set by their 727 displays. I was lucky enough to see one display at Wanaka last year , and it was even more spectacular than the 757 (and certainly noisier !).
