The two F-111's departed Amberley at 1530, I believe they also did a fly past of the Queensland Air Museum in Caloundra at 1600.
A8-125 and A8-142 were the aircraft involved in todays flight utilising the callsign Savage 1 (A8-125) and Savage 2 (A8-142). A8-125 is of note as it was the first F-111 to arrive in Australia in 1973. I believe this aircraft will go to the RAAF Museum at Point Cook upon retirement.
C-17 A41-207 was also operating some flights, presumably for cadets, down to the Gold Coast and back as Stallion 60.
Some pictures of the movements follow, they aren't great but they suffice to document the event.
