Problem I have is, this is an incontinental bomber. It was my understanding that no US IC bomber could be released to the public in flyable condition due to the threat it posed. This was at least the story with the few B-36s available. Not one can fly nor can they currently ever fly again. Dallas Fort worth historical society tried to restore their example to a flyable condition, until the airforce stated they needed to demilitarize it, what does that mean? Well I thought it meant they removed any and all weapons systems fromt the aircraft. In actuallity it was this along with the dispicable act of pulling the engines off with an f'ing tractor. They litterally ripped the engines and mounts off the wing mounts, thus imparting so much damage to the airframe it will take a whole lot of work to get it to fly again.
So how in the world can a private person be able to purchase a flyable example of a B-52?
