Any idea why OJI going and stopping over in HNL instead of direct to Mojave ?

OJI had a team of engineers on board that will remove the engines once it gets to the desert. The Honolulu stop was to clear customs.

Regards.

Think you will find it was done using two crew ops, so a rest stop was needed.
