More than 380 B-36s were built for the USAF and served until they were retired during the late 1950s and replaced by B-52s. This aircraft had the distinction of performing the last ever B-36 flight when it flew from Davis-Monthan to Wright AFB on April 30, 1959 to be placed on display at the National Museum of the USAF.
