Could be related to a lightning strike, although some time ago...

Unsure where else to post as I don't see this worthy of its own thread, but I have noticed that the VARA ATRs have dropped the "Alpha" off their ATC call signs, i.e. "Velocity 672 Alpha" is now only "Velocity 672"

A little late, last weekend VH-NFO (Firebird 200), VH-YAS (Firebird 290), VH-FEP (Bomber 222), VH-IWU (Bomber 716) and VH-BXO (Fire Spotter 265) were in Nowra.
Today, two C130J Hercules (A97-449 and 467) made a rare brief visit to Wagga. A97-467 A97-449

I posed the LAN Dreamliner engine tape question to Captain Mike Bryan, B787 Project Pilot and #PAS15 Display Pilot, and his answer was "I have no idea why they
are there". Mike had checked with Boeing Flight Test Analysis, Propulsion Aerodynamics and Nacelle Aerodynamics, and they all had no idea either. Mike's practical suggestion was that, "maybe they are reflective and help ground service carts or baggage carts not to run into them at night. Simple answers are at times the best ones". It looks like only LAN will have the final answer. Has anyone seen them on other LAN Dreamliners, or are they just on CC-BBB ? If they are just on CC-BBB then the lightening strike maybe the answer. By the way, Boeing have released another version of the #PAS15 Dreamliner Rehersal video with Youtube, this time you can swap between three cameras views in real time. Only appears to work on web browsers, not IOS devices. Watch The Video Reference Photo:

RAAF Beech King Air 350 A32-351 Callsign HDSN35 has just completed a Northern and Southern Sydney coastal run at 300ft, contour flying the beaches. The
aircraft then continued on down to Wollongong at 500ft.

I photographed LAN Dreamliner CC-BBC last week, and it does not have the horizontal speed tape on the engine (at least not the starboard one). Maybe the lightening strike on C-BBB is the reason ?
