Nice, huh?
The jets are the T-38 trainers the astronauts use. The two space shuttles on the pads will probably never be seen again together on the pads like that. The first shuttle will be used to launch the STS-125 crew into space to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. The second shuttle (all the way in the back, on the left...can you see it?) is on the pad as a potential "rescue unit" that was instituted following the Columbia accident. It will actually be used again in a few months on the next launch to ISS.
