Any idea id the A10s were headed North (towards home) or South?

For info the unmarked MH60 yesterday departed as Navy "LL-604" I've not heard a helo use LL call sign before?

Going into Hunter and probably exercise related were the following KC135Rs. Again serials from ADSB and not read

Hopefully be able to fill in the unknowns in the coming days

And last but not least a single F117A coded TR with a red fin stripe, no serial visible
