Just to correct a previous post:
I'm pretty sure they would have been gunned up tonight. They definately have been previsouly when doing this sort of thing eg George Dubya in Canberra, CHOGM a few years back. They did some training flights over Melbourne the last few days and they weren't armed then.
The defence images below shows the jets are fully armed over Melbourne. Those pretty yellow and brown bands painted around the ASRAAMs means something.... and what are those AMRAAMs doing hiding under there?
