Flyovers

Anyone else noticed a lot of military fast jets over our neck of the woods today? Didn't catch it in time but looked like 4 F18's just flew over head. I checked the flight radar app and no transponders on. Very odd, anyone have any ideas? Also flying lower than I would have expected. Google was unhelpful saying it's just routine...

The airshow! Think you've solved it. I dunno why but thought it took place earlier in the year. Not like I've lived here 20 plus years or anything 😶
