Special livery with many interesting motifs: - The inscription on the underwing fuel tank can be translated as "Let's overcome this together, Ishikawa". This refers to the effects of the earthquake that hit the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Province on January 1, 2024. - The white, blue and gold colors of the aircraft's nose refer to the colors of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, which connects Tokyo with Ishikawa Prefecture. - The inscription on the vertical stabilizer and the sticker near the air intake commemorate 70th anniversary of Japan Air Self Defense.
