The last B36 ever built was long on display in the Dallas Fort Worth area. I worked 20 years in the building in which it was originally built. It sat outside our main gate for many years (76-93) and I prowled all over the exterior several times. It was eventually moved back onto our facility for restoration. (93-06) While it was being worked on in a run station I went out and explored the inside of the plane and was amazed at its sheer size, crew amenities and the equipment inside. The restoration was completed before it was moved in pieces from the run station to an area outside the hangar I work in today. It stayed there for a time then was moved a few miles away to a planned aircraft museum. This museum never got going and the plane was finally sent out to Pima Air & Space Museum in Arizona where it resides on display today. Due to interior vandalism and severe corrosion it probably will never be flyable again. To this day it still remains the property of the USAF. The engines were last run in 71 trying to make it ready to fly out of Great Southwest International Airport where it had been displayed since taking it out of service in 59. The attempt to fly it out was halted because the Air Force would not give permission for it to fly. It has been moved in pieces by truck each time since 1959.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
