Nah definitely a good call, my guess was history would repeat itself like it did when OJH was repaired after the overrun, but more including;
>Its a first wave aircraft and weighs 1000kg more
>The first few aircraft to be released after the modifications weighed 3 ton more than those who haven't (more bums in seats)
I guess you're right in OQA's significance, the big question now, where would it be displayed!
Edit: Yeah forgot about OQF had a jacking incident and now carries a penalty, didn't think of that!
