FA-18s and A-10s? I'm not up
FA-18s and Harriers? I'm not up on my military hardware. Looks like enough firepower to take out a small South American republic, though.
Hmm, will there be aerial
Hmm, will there be aerial surprises at U.T.'s opener Saturday? Or Boomsday?
Those are F-18s.

McGhee Tyson is the home of...
one of the Air National Guard's refueling wings. Those fighter pilots and their jets may be here for training exercises with regard to refueling procedures. I don't know for sure, just saying that is what they do there, so it has a high probability of being for training.
Heard a rumor today that
Heard a rumor today that McGhee Tyson will soon be home to a Naval air base...unconfirmed, but this picture seems to corroborate that.
They sure look like Harriers
They sure look like Harriers to me.
EDIT: OK, now I googled. Definitely Harriers.
I wonder if they were moved
I wonder if they were moved here temporarily to get them out of Earl's path.

You got it right. McGhee Tyson is a designated base for military aircraft during bad weather. Every military airbase must have an evacuation plan with designated destinations.

I was thinking the family had caught a Labor Day airshow over that way in years past (and that the show took place every Labor Day)?
