F-111F "Puffy 11" Operation El Dorado Canyon

The first F-111F to take off from RAF Lakenheath for attack on Libya (14. April 1986), and the first to attack Tripoli International Airport, was also the most successful of this part of Operation El Dorado Canyon. Twelve Mk.82 AIR ballutte-retarded general-purpose bombs released by this F-111F instantly destroyed two Ilyushin Il-76 transports of the Libyan Arab Air Force, and caused a conflagration that gutted another two.
