In general, most fighter pilots look in the direction of turn, not always as it is technique and "it depends". My guess, as these are Navy pilots - he is scanning the crowd for young boys.

Yeah - silly question now that I think about it. If you're turning, you ain't lookin straight out ahead, but what you're turning about (or to i.e. base to final).
I guess I was thinking of some of the other maneuvers - loops for example, where boss would be looking at 12 and the other guys in on the reference points.
