The French Rafale was marked “75 Ans Operation ‘Dragoon’” on its tail. The Jordanian Air Force Grobs are ex D-EGAR and ex D-EGAQ respectively. The USAF A-10 without unit markings could belong to the 354th FS. The UAE Apache was also showing 06-6466 and F-16 3021 was also showing 00-6076. Praetor 500 N458EE was reported to have become PR-LAQ in September already, but perhaps that was temporary.

These were mainly noted on 17 November. The identity of G450 M-SOBR needs confirmation, as a Gulf of the same type was reregistered from this to M-SOBM in 2017, and the current Manx register does not show a replacement.
