Around 10:30 this morning, you might notice a couple extra fighter jets around.

It's nothing to worry about. In fact, you can consider it a free show!

It's the Navy's Blue Angels squadron, which arrives today, two days ahead of schedule, for this year's Great State of Maine Air Show at the Brunswick Naval Air Station.

Navy officials say the fighter jets will make multiple low-altitude passes over several Maine lighthouses to be photographed. The flights are expected to be between 10:30-11:30 a.m. today, prior to landing at the Brunswick base.

The jets will fly over lighthouses including Portland Head in Cape Elizabeth, Fort Gorges in Portland Harbor-Casco Bay, Pemaquid in Bristol and Nubble in York.
