Letounem ztraceným kvůli závadě nad Libyí byl pravděpodobně
F-15E Strike Eagle 91-0304 cn 1211/E169, kterou poznal na záběrech z místa havárie jeden z techniků, který na ni sloužil jako zbrojíř.
Letoun působil ze základny RAF Lakenheath od roku 1994 v rámci 492nd FS, kde "prožil" prakticky celou svou službu.
Na SOP by měl být modrý pruh, ale technikům došla modrá barva, tak dočasně namalovali pruh bílou.

Looking at photo's online, it seems the F-15E that crashed in Libya was 91-0304 of the 492nd FS. Here is a scan of a slide I took of the same aircraft when she was brand new out of the factory on approach to RAF Lakenheath in 1994. I was a weapons guy with the 492nd FS at the time, I helped with the USAF acceptance inspection of this aircraft. She spent her entire life with the 492nd and in the photo should have had a blue fin tip but we ran out of blue paint! The white fin tip didn't last long though.
