New Jersey ANG area:
Stupid me forgot to read the tail numbers of the six KC-135s here during the morning. Later in the day, heatwaves prevented me from reading them. I can only confirm 62-3544 (which flew) and POSSIBLY 62-3503 and 63-8040.
Next to this area a KC-135 and C-141 could be seen. Both are preserved, again no serials due to the heatwaves. There should also be a F-4 preserved here, but buildings and trees blocked the view.
"USMC" platform (South side):
The USMC temporary took up residence here for the MAGTF demo. Apart from the CH-46s and C-130s, only some codes were read of the aircraft which flew. Additions are most welcome!

Plus two single seat Hornets (one flew, one did not).
Flightline (Next to the crowd):
6x F-16CJ from the Thunderbirds
(I did not even bother to log their "codes").
Flying:
B-1B 86-0124/DY 28th BS
KC-10A 85-0027 bl/yl 305th AMW
C-17A 04-4134 bl/yl 305th AMW
C-17A 10-0214 yl/bl 437th AW
These aircraft flew from a platform on the east side of the base, around the corner of a hangar and hidden from view by buildings. Most likely most other residents (305th AMW KC-10/C-17) were parked there as well to make space for the air show.
Finally, the large complex is built against army post Fort Dix. Behind the two main gates to this complex various vehicles are preserved, including a Cobra and a Huey. Both are visible from just outside the gate:
Pemberton Gate:
AH-1F (67-15502) preserved
Wrightstow Gate:
UH-1H (71-20326) preserved
