#1 is a Cessna 180, #2 looks like a CAP-10, #3 is a Piper Cub, #4 i think is a home built, #5 may be another home built, #6 has been identified as the AirCam, #7 is a Citabria (airbatic spelled backwards). I towed gliders with one of these. #8 may be an Aerospatial chopper.
Here is the Identification as provided on the FAA.Gov site.
1. 1973 Cessna 180J, 2. 2009 Cessna LC41-550FG, 3. 1940 Piper J3F-65, 4. No Id but looks like it is one of the Vans RV series, 5. 2002 Vans RV8-A, 6. 2015 Aircam, 7. 1974 Bellanca 7ECA, 8. 2019 Airbus EC135-P3. It looked like all of these were registered in different parts of TN.

Nice set of photos!
All of the aircraft except for #5 and #7 are referred to as Tail Draggers. The aircraft in photo #7 is known as a Rotorwing aircraft.
In the rotorcraft (helicopter) world the nut that is used to attach the rotorblades hub to the main shaft is commonly referred to as the 'Jesus Nut'. There are two definitions for why, 1. When the nut comes off and the blades leave the helicopter, the pilot is usually heard saying "Oh, Jesus!!!!!!" and 2. That is the first person the pilot will meet! (Helicopter peoples humor).

We went to a fly-in at the local airport for the first time. Was surprised by how many planes there were and the variety. I know nothing about planes so these are just some that I liked.
Interesting variety. I enjoyed a ride in a Cessna 150 many years ago.

I could be wrong on the RV 7 or 8/a very similar planes more what is under the hood

#1 is a Cessna 180J as registered with the FAA it also marked as a skywagon 180 and you can see that between the #3 and the last window when it is downloaded and zoomed in.

Could be wrong on the 180 also I have seen the FAA have typos on there paperwork before it’s what I do for a living (IA a&p) I’d have to look at the photos again
