Unfortunately I think it is actually a reflection. It appears to be a reflection off of something on the marine's white hat. If you stop and blow it up around 2:13 and then around 2:30 again after the marine disappears you can see it disappeared not only under the 'O' but also under the 'T' and a bit under the 'S'.
It is too coincidental all of these marks disappear just after the marine closes the door and his big white, reflecting blob is gone. I can't comment on how likely this type of a reflection is under the lighting conditions available, but if it was meant to be intentional they shouldn't have removed all of the other reflections at exactly the same moment.
Changed my mind about the source of the reflection. It is clearly not the marine. Might be someone or something in the background that walks away after the door closes.
So someone in the background standing 100 feet from the helicopter, caused a reflection on the helicopter to turn an O into a Q, and the reflection looks exactly like the paint used on all the other letters, and this person caused no other such reflection.. just the one that makes an O look like a Q?
Where? I have an image of the plane Before and After the "Q" and am looking at them side by side. I see no changes to any of the lettering besides the Q turning into an O. Give me timestamps and specifics and particulars.

Except there were other reflections. Look carefully. All of them disappear. Not just that one. That is why I think it is a genuine reflection.
But the camera doesn't change its position on the ground, only the angle and width of the zoom. Very strange.

That is how it appears to me. Perhaps someone in a white dress.
Seems the most likely explanation, although weird coincidence, we have to admit.
