As the guy who stood next to me noted, it's like photographing a hole in the sky. I took about 20 photos of the B-2 and only a couple of them show any detail whatsoever. I was able to zoom in real close to see it say "Spirit of Alaska" near the wheel wells.

I keep hearing about the 3 Hurricanes at Thunder but in all the pics I've looked at I've only seen 2, the Russell airplane and Potter's bird. Was the third the Fighter Factory airplane?

Yes, it was the Fighter Factory's Hurricane. I showed up mid-day Saturday, Weather problems I heard. So it did not fly until Sunday. It was pretty far out on most passes so pictures where not that easy. But to see 3 Hurricans taxi out was a sight. :D

Here is a few that I took when I had the chance. Im not sure how many WIXers got down to the WWII re-enactment, but they put on quite a show with two P-47' and a Mustang for air cover!
