On April 15, 1986 a bombing raid was planned under the code name Operation EL DORADO CANYON. The F-117A was identified as the best suited weapons system for the mission. Although senior officers at TAC knew of the F-117A's capabilities, the theater commanders knew nothing of its capabilities or even that it existed. As a result, the raid was carried out using carrier based Navy A-6s, A-7s, F/A-18s, and USAF F-111s based out of the U.K.
Once again, the F-117As were within less than one hour from launch when Casper Weinberger scrubbed the mission. He felt that the aircraft was too valuable to risk on such insignificant targets and the F-117A's participation in the raid was canceled.
