Not to wander too far off topic, but if anyone knows someone...please PM me
I've been amazed over the years, in the right circumstances, what doors a polite request with genuine interest can open that you may assume were irrevocably locked. (Most of the reason I'm in Japan at the moment is for a factory tour that was a "would it be possible to..." ; my business trip to Dubai started similarly as did the Houston TRACON and Cleveland UA OPS tower)
For this thread, glad to hear the repair is finished and 7ish months sems about right based on what I know for the physical repair, just unfortunate timing based on everything that has the media piqued.
