Ike, I believe the best low-flying jet in history behind the F-104 (still nr 1) was the British Buccaneer......

You bet,
during a TLP course in 1983 we (2 Phantoms) were paired with 2 Buccs as a "mudmover" section.
We took it down to the very legal minimum. They just didn't care.
I liked to lead the section in order to have them behind us, with them leading we had a heck of a time to follow.
 
Here is a part of the  TLP bar song:
 
Don't give me the F 4 F,
their crews are old and
they fly like the Buccs,
they don't give a fuck,
So give me the F 4 F.
 
Best regards,    -   Hubert
