Wow. That was a great video.

There was a guy in North East Ohio that had one of these in pieces on his property along with some other significant older aircraft. He had a clipped wing Corsair that was used in the Cleveland Air Races and several older fighter jets to boot. I believe his intent was to start a museum. Back in the late 70's you could walk his property for $1. In 1980 a friend took me for a ride in a CAP-10 aerobatic plane and as we were flying along he said, you want to see something cool? I said sure. He rolled the plane upside down right over this guy's property. We stayed that way for 20 seconds or so to get a good look at all the planes he had. The B36 was in several pieces. I had always planned to stop at this guy's place, but never got around to it. He's long since passed away and I believe most of his planes and parts were sold.

Here's a video from someone that visited his property in 2014.
