Yes - with no ID. SAF9767 with a speed of 100Kts at 25000 - which I am having trouble believing!

They wouldn't need a tanker to fly from Amberley to Ohakea with all those external and conformal tanks! Our A-4s could go Amberley to Ohakea without gas in around 3.5 hours with a nice tail wind. Couldn't go the other way without some gas though...

A tanker definitely went with them most of the way and then back to Amberley though Don. Dave White said he watched it take off with them and he was listening to their comms.

The marks around the access panels on the conformal tanks doesn't help them in the good looking bird stakes. Have they arrived? The Mrcaviation site no longer has the f16s maybe it's being updated?

I had just crawled into bed after night shift when I was woken up by all my Windows rattling and the house shaking, worth it to get out of bed to see them scream over the roof.

There was definitely at least one over Cambridge earlier, at 10.35-10.40am this morning. Lots of people around the town heard it, but they were above the low cloud.
