Default VH-OJI and VH-OQB
Anyone know where these aircraft are? OJI last arrived in Brisbane on Aug15 and looks to have not flown since, and OQB looks to have been in LA the last week. Anyone know any details?

OQB is in LAX with an engine problem since Monday. Was due to be fixed on the weekend.

Have you ever thought it is close to 10 years of age and might be in for a major overhaul and repaint.

OJI was involved in an incident during takeoff from Singapore as QF52 to Brisbane on Aug 14. Dumped fuel, then performed an emergency landing.
It was then disabled just off the runway and passengers had to be bussed back to the terminal. Apparently there was extensive gear damage.
