VH-RRA was withdrawn from use in 1978 and stripped of useful parts. Despite having relatively few hours, the number of holes drilled in the fuselage and wings for experiments made it unsuitable for commercial use. The hull was used by the Sydney airport fire service until 1988 when it was scrapped completely.

Thunderbirds ship # 4 was the slot machine that always caught the exhaust soot from the rest of the formation. Back in 1960 a decision had been made to allow the tail of #4 to remain black, although never painted as such. The Thunderbirds graduated to the heavy Phantom from the F-100D in 1969 and relinquished them in favour of T-38's in 1974 after a break thanks to the 1973 oil crisis. 66-0291 went into storage at Davis Monthan in 1991 as an NF-4E after test use at Edwards and removed for scrap 5.11

The short-lived Court Line leased this Austral 1-11 (LV-JNR) for the summer of 1971. Dbr after an aborted take-off due to loss of power from no.1 engine after lift-off at Bahía Blanca, Argentina on 4.th December 1973. The 1-11 was slowed down by Argentine Navy arresting cables (for A-4 aircraft), but these broke, damaging the aircraft and puncturing a fuel tank, the fuel being ignited by friction sparks. Scrapped on site
