It looks like they are flying over the runway at or above pattern
altitude, then starting over about the numbers the airplanes in
sequence break off, do a decending 360 onto final then land.

Not meaning to nitpick but just to expand on this a bit, when the F16s at the
guard base on my home airport perform this maneuver, they overfly the runway
at runway heading and what appears to be about 1,500 feet above runway
elevation to the departure end in a single file, turn 180 degrees back to the
left downwind at what appears to be the same altitude, then about adjacent to
the approach end begin a sharp descent and 180 degree turn back to final.

Overhead break with 3 second intervals for spacing.
