B-47 53-2280 still at NMUSAF?

Just wondering what is the status of this B-47. The last time it was mentioned here maybe a year ago it was headed for the nuclear museumin New Mexico. Anyone have any updates?

I saw the B-29 when it was displayed at Kirtland a few years ago (before the move to the new museum grounds). It was in pretty poor condition...
