what does this museum have thats on display???

They're turbo compound 3350s, but I am not certain what they came from. The sheet metal is similar to that found on Constellations and Neptunes. (I think maybe more like a Neptune.) We need someone who knows something about reciprocating engines to solve the mystery.
My personal choice to 'rescue' would be that F-84.

I was about to ask the same thing. I was at NMUSAF last Monday, and was wondering whatever happened to that bird. It used to sit next to the B-36, but I haven't seen it since they rearranged everthing a few years ago.
