The mysterious 'plane' that Q refers to might have been a helicopter.

It may not have had a tail number, because it was transmitting a false one for a Southwest Airlines flight.
I remember a whole bunch of choppers like these heading in convoy and landing at John L Stennis Airport around that time.
Unfortunately, I lost my archives due to a hard drive crash. The screen caps may still be in the archives somewhere but I'm not sure where to look in terms of what Chan bread at the time.
Mohammed Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.
That's who would have been extracted on the helicopter from the roof of the Mandalay Bay. He was fleeing an attempted assassination and the plane with no tail number that lkeft McCarran during the lockdown had him aboard.
Change my mind.
Yep, that's the man. He went home and really cleaned some clocks.
Yeah, maybe I didn't make that clear. His plane was the only one to leave during the lock-down at McCarran.
More on Bin Salman…
According to the Middle East Eye, an assassination campaign against critics of the monarchy was carried out in parallel to the overt arrests of the purge, by the Tiger Squad, which was formed in 2017 and as of October 2018, consisted of 50 secret service and military personnel. The group members were recruited from different branches of the Saudi forces, directing several areas of expertise. The would-be aim and actions of the group were to silently murder critics of the Saudi government by the skilled intelligence officials, highly trusted by Mohammad bin Salman, that composed the Tiger Squad. The Tiger Squad allegedly assassinates dissidents using varying methods, such as planned car and aircraft accidents, house fires, and poisoning at hospitals under the pretenses of regular health checkups. The five-member squad were also the part of the 15-member death squad who assassinated Jamal Khashoggi. According to the sources, bin Salman chose silent murder instead of arrest as the method of repression due to the fact that only arresting the dissidents sparks international pressures for releasing them, whereas silent murder covers it up quietly. Prince Mansour bin Muqrin died under mysterious circumstances, allegedly assassinated when his personal aircraft was shot down as he fled the country - made to appear as merely an accident. Meshal Saad al-Bostani, a member of the Tiger Squad and a lieutenant in the Saudi airforce was allegedly behind the murder, but he himself was also later murdered by poison, but reported to have died as a result of a car accident. Another victim was Suliman Abdul Rahman al-Thuniyan, a Saudi court judge who was murdered by injection of a deadly virus when he visited a hospital for a regular health checkup. This took place after he had opposed bin Salman's 2030 Economic Vision.
I recall seeing a plane coming from the Middle East, call sign Tiger 1. If flew from Kadena Air Base and this is what is said about Kadena.
Kadena Air Base is a United States Air Force base in the towns of Kadena and Chatan and the city of Okinawa, in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It is often referred to as the "Keystone of the Pacific". I recall it having no tail number on Flightaware.
