Nicely done! A great home for a great airplane!
And thanks again for the opportunity to snoop around the B-36 when I was down there in February.

Looks absolutely fantastic! I hate to see her baking in that blistering Tucson sun. Any plans for a hangar?

In theory, yes. I practical terms that will be a multi-year fund raising project for a very large building to house the B-36 and possibly a couple of other large aircraft and a number of smaller ones.
