In 2023, the 494th Panthers depolyed to a undisclosed location in the middel east for their CETCOM depolyment, Where the Panthers were tasked with striking various targets and shooting down drones, shortly after depolying 96-0204 previous "CHUM" was painted the first nose art on their depolyment. 96-0204 was named "Clawin' kitty" which was a reference to a P-40 from the RCAF named "Clawin' Kitty" She was painted a similar inspired nose art, with a Panther cub instead. During their depolyment 96-0204 dropped mutiple bombs which got marked, aswell as a SA-6 Sam-site. later on with the depolyment the Iranian attack on Isreal, the 494th, 335th and mutiple air forces were tasked with shooting down the drones & Cruise missiles. 96-0204 shot down 10 drones which was symbolized as a Red AIM-9X sidewinder. After getting her nose art. Her name plate was painted to say "RAWR" and the right saying "Claws n' Paws"
The panthers returned in May, with their new nose arts and kill marks.
