[Milsurplus] B-36

[telegrapher at q.com]

I wonder what is happening with the one at Fort Worth?  Used to be on the grounds of the airport but don't know where it is any more or who has custody of it.  Thought i remember hearing Rumors that it was going to be totally overhauled out at the old Carswell AFB.  Anyone with more current info?  I went thru that one back in the mid 70's when they were getting ready to move it.  They were pulling the engines off at that time but i got to go up into the cockpit area and browse around. Not smart enough at that time to know what all i would have been looking for/at.  May have some pictures someplace that i took then.  Called the "Queen of the sky"..  

I remember in the 50's when i lived in western Kansas they would fly over our town going to or from Wichita.  You could hear and feel the rumble of those low speed props for miles.  They seemed to be less than 2000 ft elevation but i was a kid so what did i know except that it was a B-36!
