Where and when?

Just east of exit 117 on the GSP. That's a residential area southwest of Sandy Hook,
west of Red Bank, and a bit northeast of Colt's Neck. If you look on the NY
sectional, there's a seaplane base in a large inlet at Rumson. I'm pretty much due
west of that symbol on the chart.

I was practicing spiral descents. And ascents, as it worked out.

This pilot was apparently randomly turning. The altitude appeared to be constant; the
engine note didn't change for as long as I could hear the plane. None of the evidence
matches your flight.

Fortunately, approach was quite quiet today. But perhaps the F-16s were
looking for the cutie on the approach frequency (by which I mean my wife;
not me).

Maybe. I saw them down about where the 100 degree radial of the Colt's Neck VOR
crosses the coast.
