| Army Air Forces Historical Association Display |
Formed in 1993, the Army Air Forces Historical Association, based in
northern New Jersey, is an historical and educational non-profit organization. The association participates in air shows,
historical retrospect's, educational programs and seminars providing static displays of World War II Army Air Forces memorabilia. These
artifacts portray what service life was like when the world was at war and fathers, sons and daughters trained and served
in many distant locations.

Our Reenactors are joined by this great trio performing a side-splitting Abbott
and Costello Act. Bill Riley and Joe Ziegler transform themselves
into Bud Abbott and Lou Costello through vintage dress and an authentic recreation of the team's mannerisms and vocal stylings.
They perform with pinpoint accuracy many of the vaudeville and burlesque routines made famous by Bud and Lou on stage, screen,
radio and television, including the classic baseball routine, "Who's On First?". They are joined by Scoop Fields
adding to this already great act.

The American Airpower Museum is
a volunteer run organization that works to keep historical aircrafts flying. They are based out of Republic Airport and the
museum is open to visitors. Some sixty five years ago, the current home of the American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport
was a crucial part of the "Arsenal of Democracy". Home to Republic Aviation, the complex produced over 9,000 P-47
Thunderbolts in Farmingdale. Today, no American aviation museum with a squadron of operational World War II aircrafts has
a more appropriate setting for its flight operations. Taxing to the very runways and hangars that dispatched Thunderbolts
to war, vintage aircrafts recreate those turbulent years and allow the public to watch these planes in their natural environment
- the air. The American Airpower Museum will
bring some of these great historical planes out for our airshow. Keep an eye on the site to see which ones will attend as
it gets closer.
