How much extra fuel is going to be used with the extra trim and drag needed to fly straight and level? If I quickly calculate it out over the next 15 years it would have been cheaper to wreck the old girl. Oh well
Well after returning to OZ, being re-weighed and completing a performance test flight, the performance factor for OQA is better than when it last flew. By almost a percent I believe.

So much for your quick calculation.
