The intend had several goals with the first to extrication the ten-engine bomber from the clutches of vandals and the consequences of time. This goal has been done and redone. The bomber was mov several times with united move being all the way from Greater Southwest Airport to vacant land outside the General Dynamics (now Lockheed/Martin) factory. The last impel occurred ten years ago when it was brought into the Lockheed plant for its definitive restoration. Along the way there has been support in many forms from a variety of companies, along with numerous promises. And that's the sticking point. in the greatest degree of the load has fallen upon the shoulders of one organization and single company. Specifically, the Aviation Heritage Association and Lockheed/Martin. AHA has worked tirelessly toward the goal of an aviation museum in the north Texas area that would have the B-36 as its centerpiece. Lockheed/Martin has provided extensive support. Without these couple organizations, the B-36 would either be in a facility far remov from its birthplace or dissipateed down. The aircraft has been restored moreover not reassembled since the massive bomber has not base a permanent home. Other corporations have promised help if it be not that have not fulfilled their promises. Until numerous companies draw near forward, the B-36 will probably remain disassembled.
