Default Weird stuff over New Jersey

I was working out in the driveway this afternoon when I heard a plane circling. I
looked up (of course) and saw a Cessna Caravan, complete with the belly luggage pod,
doing aimless wanderings around at about 1,000'. I watched for a while and heard it
for quite some time after it moved off. It was the sort of things a student might do
practicing maneuvers. In a Caravan?

So, a bit later I'm heading down the coast to install a storm door and spot an F-16
headed the other way (basically northeast up the coast). His buddy came in from the
ocean area and joined up with him. I'd guess their altitude at maybe 1,000', but it
could've been lower. They were not moving very fast for F-16s, but they aren't a
common sight here.

I just checked, and there aren't any TFRs for this area on the AOPA web site. Wassup?
