Given all the cars and the fire truck display, I think either a high ranking officer retirement / finny flight, change of command, or VIP arrival.

Looks like this was an alert facility. Building is called"Base Ops" on this map:

Well, yes, Base Ops is located there. I know it as the location of the Command Post because those are the people located there that I deal with most often...

Also, a note, there are no longer any permanently assigned "alert birds" at the Alert Hangars at the South end of the air field, though Air Guard F-16's and F-15's sometimes visit.
