Legacy Flight

F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft assigned to the 494th Fighter Squadron fly in formation above the United Kingdom, May 7, 2026. One of the jets was painted in a camouflage pattern to honor the legacy of Operation El Dorado Canyon, the 1986 bombing raid on Libya in which Capt. Fernando Ribas-Dominicci and Capt. Paul Lorence were lost.
