[[F-117]]s of the [[4450th Tactical Group]] operated from Tonopah in secret from 1982 through 1989 while the program was still classified.  During this period Mancamp was connected to the airfield by shuttle bus service, while the airfield in turn was connected to [[Nellis Air Force Base]] by between five and twenty [[Key Air]] [[Boeing 727]] and/or [[Boeing 737]] flights per day from Nellis to Tonopah.<ref>{{cite news | title = Six F-117As Flown in Panama Invasion | work = [[Aviation Week & Space Technology]] | pages = 30  | publisher = McGraw Hill | date = March 5, 1990}}</ref>  The airfield was also serviced by one or two [[Janet (airline)|Janet]] [[Boeing 737]] flights daily, which were presumably from [[McCarran International Airport]] and served [[Sandia National Laboratories]] employees.  In early 1991, Key Air lost the contract and the service was taken over by [[American Trans Air]] Boeing 727 aircraft. Key Air departed directly from Nellis, AFB, and did not utilize McCarren International, as it was too far a distance from the base, and impractical.
