I heard a rumor that Wright-Patt smelted down a B-47, wonder if this was the one. Aircraft was formerly displayed at Patterson Museum.

Put on display at Air Force Museum at Patterson Field in 1965, and stayed there until the present museum was built at Wright Field in 1971. 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?
