Instead of a boring fly by with two planes going at a combined 1200 mph, just have one plane go at 1200mph.

Sonic booms at low altitude can be damaging to some building with old windows, and plate glass.
Disregard some answers, It is not illegal to fly Supersonic.
There are a lot of restrictions. Have to have ACT clearance for tactical flight, in designate areas, above set altitudes.
I worked at Warner-Robins Air Logistics Center on F-15s. During test flights, they would go Supersonic almost everyday. Just at high altitude. You could hear sonic booms on a regular basis.
I now work at Ogling AFB, where they usually go out over the Gulf before going supersonic.

I was at the Cleveland Air Show this year and they had an F/A-18 go supersonic 4 times

Because when they exceed the speed of sound, they produce a sonic boom. While it may be exciting, it would probably wreck havoc on buildings that are close by. It is also illegal in the U.S. to fly at supersonic speeds over populated areas.
If you feel that two aircraft flying at each other and passing by within 10 feet of the other one is boring, then you should probably not go to anymore airshows.

A. It's illegal.
B. No jet currently operating can go 1200 mph near sea level. Air is too dense.

The sound of it breaking Supersonic speeds could damage people's hearing. It is extremely loud.

Not allowed to.
Safety is the first concern of any air show.
The damage from a low level shockwave would be considerable.
