In Feb 2007 it was purchased by the California Air Heritage Foundation. Then in August 2010 the fuselage was acquired by the Natl WW2 museum in New Orleans. They plan to find all the pieces to make the plane whole again before it goes on display in New Orleans. The aft fuselage will come from B-17F 42-30681 which was recovered in Alaska in 1996. All the info you need for this listing can be found in Scott Thompson's 4th edition of his book Final Cut.
