US fighter jets display horror movie characters, kill counts after returning from Middle East operations: photos

F-15E Strike Eagle jets from the 366th Fighter Wing landed at RAF Mildenhall in the UK this week, returning from operations in the Middle East. The aircraft, emblazoned with horror movie characters such as Hannibal Lector and Pennywise, also displayed rows of bomb and missile markings. Fighter pilots often paint symbols like missiles, bombs, or silhouettes on their jets to represent specific achievements or actions during missions.
