    A U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft assigned to the 494th Fighter Generation Squadron sits behind a heritage design mock-up at RAF Lakenheath, England, March 18, 2026. During Operation El Dorado Canyon, an F-111F Aardvark “Karma 52” aircraft, the captain and the weapons system officer went missing while flying over the Mediterranean Sea. The markings on the modern paint scheme pay tribute to the personnel and aircraft that were lost during the mission. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Rilynn Jacobs)
