Jay,

In the early '80s the Air Force was unloading B-52s on museums like
crazy. I had some invovlement in getting the one at the museum in
Wichita. You might see if they'd sell, that museum is chronically
short of money. Moving it might be a bit of a challenge, although, as
I recall, the spars were cut to comply with the one of the SALTs as it
was capable of carrying nuclear weapons (which is why they got parked
in museums in the first place). Kind of fun to crawl through the
thing, only place you can stand up is at the ladderway between the
decks up front. Otherwise, it's cramped as all get out, you duck-walk
everywhere.

Warmest regards,
Rick
