A low level flyby at Mach 1.1 from a couple of F-15's would send a nice message.

Quibble. F18s. F18s are carrier-based, and we have a carrier in the vicinity.

I recall a few decades ago we unleashed an SR71 in Central America. It screamed at mach 2+ across (I think) Nicaragua, blowing out windows under it's flight path. That was such a beautiful aircraft. I've seen two of them, and they are so cool.
