(Built 1969) parked on the apron at RAAF Amberley along with A8-125, A8-134 and A8-113 just over a week before the much loved F-111 was retired from service. As the final aircraft to shut down engines after the final retirement flight on December 3, 2010 this jet became the worlds last operational Pig. Thankfully this aircraft has avoided the scrap man and is earmarked for preservation with the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS) collection as a non-flying museum display.
