In October 2023, The 494th Fighter Squadron "Panthers" were send to a undisclosed location in the middel east, for their CETCOM depolyment. Shortly after they were depolyed. the 494th were tasked with striking mutiple syrian targets, During their Depolyment, the 494th EFGS, and their Crew chiefs painted their 12 jets with various nose arts, Name plates and kill marks. 91-0335 was named the "DUTCHMAN" and painted a octopus-Pirate. aswell as mutiple bomb marks. Later on, with the iranian Drone attack on Isreal, the 494th togheter with the 335, RAF, RJAF, were tasked with shooting down these UAS's, and cruise missiels. the 494th shot down over 50% of the drones. 91-0335 was painted 10 RED AIM-9X marks to symbolize the drone shoot downs. When the 494th returned from their 7 month depolyment they showed their new nose arts and kill marks before shortly removing them. 91-0335 was spotted without a nose art around 7/2/24. but still with the kill marks.
