The crew, Capt. Fernando Ribas-Dominicci and Capt. Paul Lorence, were never recovered. Photo: USAF \/ DVIDS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">El Dorado Canyon, 1986<\/h2>\n\n<p>The original mission flew on a Monday night in April 1986. Twenty-four F-111Fs out of Lakenheath, supported by EF-111A Ravens out of nearby Upper Heyford, struck five Libyan targets in retaliation for the Berlin disco bombing. France refused overflight rights, so the Aardvarks flew the long way \u2014 out around Spain, through Gibraltar, across the Mediterranean, on the air refuelling tankers&#8217; generosity for almost seven hours.<\/p>\n\n<p>One F-111 didn&#8217;t come back. KARMA 52, flown by Capt. Fernando Ribas-Dominicci and weapons system officer Capt. Paul Lorence, went down in the Mediterranean. Both crewmen were killed. Only Ribas-Dominicci&#8217;s body was eventually returned by Libya \u2014 in 1989, four years after the raid. Lorence is still listed as missing in action.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why the 48th Cares So Much<\/h2>\n\n<p>Lakenheath flew F-111Fs from 1977 until 1992, when the Liberty Wing transitioned to the F-15E. For the people who actually serve in the wing, El Dorado Canyon is not just a history lesson \u2014 it is the proof their unit is willing to be the one that does the dangerous, politically expensive missions. The new paint job on 91-0311 keeps that memory operational.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=777375289  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/f-15e-f-111-heritage-camo-lakenheath.jpg\" alt=\"F-15E in F-111 heritage camo\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The Strike Eagle wears the same tan-and-green camouflage as the F-111Fs that flew the original raid. The radome stays grey to retain its standard radar absorbent coating. Photo: USAF \/ DVIDS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">An &#8220;Aggressor Look&#8221; That Isn&#8217;t Aggressor<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Air Force has painted aircraft in unusual schemes before. The aggressor squadrons at Nellis fly F-16s in Russian-style splinter and Chinese-style digital camouflage. But those are deliberate signals: <em>we are pretending to be the bad guys for training<\/em>. The Lakenheath jet is not an aggressor. It is an operational front-line F-15E that the 494th will continue to fly on real missions while wearing 1980s war paint.<\/p>\n\n<p>The tail markings tell the rest of the story. The 494th&#8217;s panther mascot dominates one face of each tail; the silhouette of an F-111F sits on the other; on the inboard surface, the Statue of Liberty \u2014 a nod to the 48th&#8217;s &#8220;Liberty Wing&#8221; callsign. The nose carries the KARMA 52 callsign in red, slightly faded, exactly as the original aircraft would have looked.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Will It Stay?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Heritage schemes come off in two months on average \u2014 they are too high-maintenance for line operations and the unique paint accelerates corrosion. But the 48th has hinted that 91-0311 will keep its colours through to the end of its current deployment cycle. That means we will probably see this aircraft in active service over the Baltic and the Black Sea later this year, in a paint job that has been off the front line since the Reagan administration.<\/p>\n\n<p>Aviation photographers, sharpen your lenses.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Sources: DVIDS \/ 48th Fighter Wing Public Affairs, The Aviationist, TWZ.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The F-15E Strike Eagle has worn the same paint scheme since 1988.
