Fernando Luis Ribas-Dominicci[note 1] (June 24, 1952 – April 15, 1986), was a captain and F-111F pilot in the United States Air Force.

As a child, he had always dreamed of becoming a pilot and after he graduated from high school, he entered the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez where he earned his bachelor's degree in civil engineering.

[2] On April 15, 1986, in response to acts of terrorism sponsored by Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, the United States attacked key terrorist training facilities in Tripoli, Libya, using 18 USAF F-111F fighter-bombers and 5 EF-111A radar jamming aircraft from bases in England.

[3] This was part of a joint strike mission in coordination with US Navy aircraft which struck targets in Behghazi, Libya, at the same time.

The body recovered and thought to be that of Lorence was actually that of then-Captain Fernando L. Ribas-Domminici, which was identified by dental records and returned in 1989.
