I saw in the local paper today that there was a B-24, B-17, and P51 at BLM til Thursday. I was only able to stop by for a quick look today but will stop by again tommorow. BLM is off of route 34 in Wall Township, real close to the Parkway exit 98.

Sounds like those are the Collins Foundation birds. They usually hit FRG over Labor Day weekend, but won't be visiting this year.

Nice shots!!! We must have been there the same day, because I saw the same aircraft and helicopters you posted from your second day.

I was so happy to find out these aircraft were coming into BLM. I live less than a mile from it, and it barely gets any cool visitors. I was unable to make the first and second day, but I did get there before they were gone for good.

Here are some of my shots-
