First F-117A appearance in Red Flag?

Does anyone know when the F-117A first started flying in the Red Flag exercises?

I've seen references to it participating in the "80s". Should I assume that it participated after it was revealed to the public in November 1988 or would a black plane participate in Red Flag before it was acknowledged publicly?

I would think that Red Flag pilots might not be at a security clearance level to know about black planes until they are acknowledged publicly. Alternatively, if the Red Flag mission was flown at night, the other pilots might never see it?
