The following lists are of aircraft that were offered through the DOD Surplus Catelog venue. These military aircraft remains are essentually broken up scrap - not being offered as a possible flyer.

*The last production B-47E.
*USAF 44th BS (40th BW).
*USAF 307th BW.
*1965: Put on display at Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH.
*1971: Given to the local fire department for use in training and was eventually destroyed.

Rather than disassemble 6244, JB-47E 2280 (a flight test aircraft) was put on display at Wright Field since it could be flown to the new museum site.
Is this the plane that the nose and tail in an Ohio collection came from?
