I think they are. They have already departed back to (Spang I assume?). Today was only a practice, so they should be back for the actual later in the week.

They departed following the rehersal. Weasel flight was a no
show today. I posted frequencies used in the frequency section.

Were Weasel Flight supposed to be the F-16s?

Location : Bob Fossils Zooniverse Spotter Watch Member : no

Thats right, when the Eagles launched they said were joining
Quid 24 in ARA8 with Hog and Weasel flight. Just prior to the
rehersal, Hog called the air boss to check in on weasel whilst in
the hold, but he said they were no show. I guess they must of
launched from Spang but then rtb'd.....not sure if before or after
the tanker.
