For what it's worth, they are practicing the demo over Oceana this Wednesday. I believe is the first time this year. NOTAM says 15,000' AGL so this is at least hope that maybe they are close to getting back to the standard full demo. I unfortunately do not arrive into the area until Thursday AM, so I won't be able to verify if they practice the full routine. Maybe one of the locals will be able to catch it.
Thanks,
Matt

Was anyone able to confirm a full demo practice? They posted a clip on Instagram that at least shows what looks like the inverted silent pass being performed.

If I'm not mistaken, I heard my friend said they did a full cuban 8 at practice in NAS Oceana. Also, aren't the Rhino demo team gonna be at Augusta airshow?

Not sure where your friend got that information from. The team has flown the same demo for years, and it has never to my knowledge included a full Cuban. I guess it could have been added and not yet flown publicly, but I’d say that’s unlikely.
Neither Rhino team is scheduled to be at Augusta. The Viper Demo Team will be there.
