VH-TJA (James Cook) had a 'close shave' on 29 Jan 1971 after takeoff at SYD when it struck the tail fin of a CP Air DC8 that was on the runway.

After leaving TAA the ex VH-TJA was operated by Air Florida for approx 7 months before being sold to Continental who operated the aircraft for a further 14 years before being scrapped.
