Mike,
The Herk would be KC-130J 170276 which departed Kef for Portsmouth (NH) at 12:36 on Thursday.
On Thursday there were 6 F-18s of VMA(AW)-224 returning home from deployment to Tampere. The 6 (NB: not 5) were: 164873, 164874, 165221, 165230, 164968, and 165684.

Hi Mike, to add to the info from MCB
They are a mix of F/A-18Cs and Ds from the VMFA(AW)-224 and arrived in Keflavik (BIKF/KEF) on the 4th December as a TREND11-16 and departed on the 7th December back home to MCAS Beaufort (KBFT/BFT).
F/A-18C - 164873 - WK00
F/A-18D - 164874- WK01
F/A-18C - 165221- WK02
F/A-18C - 165230- WK04
F/A-18C - 164968- WK06
F/A-18D - 165684- WK11
Hopefully this helps
