25 years isn't that long for an airframe considering parts life and engines. There seem to be plenty of them in storage. So using them as a potential solution to needed com at wings inside the US wouldn't surprise me. In fact it would be also not surprising to see them flying at day light hours to be testing new avionics equipment for upgrades like the B-52's have received.
That's quite interesting. The F-117 is fairly antiquated as far as stealth aircraft go these days, and to brazenly fly during the daytime over a major US city like that just adds to the mystery. They had to know someone somewhere would spot them and know that it was odd enough to photograph.

I can't even speculate why they were in the air.
