    U.S Air Force Lt. Col. Tyler Stark, a 494th Fighter Squadron pilot, conducts a pre-flight inspection on an F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft at RAF Lakenheath, England, May 7, 2026. The heritage paint scheme was created to commemorate the mission that resulted in the loss of the pilot, Capt. Fernando Ribas-Dominicci, and the weapon systems officer, Capt. Paul Lorence. The aircraft, known by the call sign KARMA 52, was downed during the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing deployment to Libya in 1986. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Annie Garcia)
