Most of the original GO planes are due for heavy maint. I think they replace gear in CAE. Yes they do need extra tanks to make it to the mainland from Hawaii. Ive flown with two CAPT recently that have been JR assigned to part 91 some 200's to CAE from PHX once they've finished trips. And no they dont go straight from Hawaii to CAE, they stop over in PHX for other work. Dont worry though, I'm sure it is very cost efficient to repo ac from hawaii to the East coast for maint.
