Narrative:
On departure with tower, ordered to turn to heading 160 degrees. He asked if we had a banner tow aircraft at our 9 O'clock position (we did). We were told to contact departure. We advised departure we had banner tow. About that time we got a TA on aircraft at 12 O'clock position, slightly higher (we were climbing). At that point ATC cleared us higher. Soon after the TCASII went RA with a climb due to the aircraft ahead. We acquired it as it went under us. ATC asked if we had it visually. ATC then inquired as to our destination. It seems the tower controller thought we were headed southeast to owb instead of our filed south to mem, hence the 160 degree heading. This heading put us into conflict with the inbound aircraft and caught the departure controller off guard.

ABOUT THAT TIME WE GOT A TA ON ACFT AT 12 O'CLOCK POS, SLIGHTLY HIGHER (WE WERE CLBING). AT THAT POINT ATC CLRED US HIGHER. SOON AFTER THE TCASII WENT RA WITH A CLB DUE TO THE ACFT AHEAD. WE ACQUIRED IT AS IT WENT UNDER US. ATC ASKED IF WE HAD IT VISUALLY. ATC THEN INQUIRED AS TO OUR DEST. IT SEEMS THE TWR CTLR THOUGHT WE WERE HEADED SE TO OWB INSTEAD OF OUR FILED S TO MEM, HENCE THE 160 DEG HDG. THIS HDG PUT US INTO CONFLICT WITH THE INBOUND ACFT AND CAUGHT THE DEP CTLR OFF GUARD.
