Vale - Adam Phillip NOORDINK 'Phil', O118789, Pilot ....
On September 29, 1977, SQNLDR John Holt and FLTLT Phil Noordink perished after their aircraft was involved in a bird-strike incident.  Earlier that morning, F-111 A8-133, callsign ‘Falcon 32’, departed RAAF Base Amberley for the Evans Head Air Weapons Range to conduct a conversion course sortie.  Falcon 32 had successfully completed two runs and had just turned again for the third when at least three birds, possibly pelicans, struck it in the cockpit front.

The birds smashed the cockpit canopies and may have also disabled the crew.  SQNLDR Holt and FLTLT Noordink initiated ejection well outside the safe envelope from the stricken aircraft but, tragically, the crew module struck the ground and they were killed.
