I visited/talked with Walt several times in the late 90's. He told me that they did move several planes out to Youngstown, and that there was a museum there for a short period. I can't quite remember for how long. I do know that a B-25 went to Youngstown, but am unsure of the others. I always thought that the B-36 he has would make an fascinating sectioned museum display. It is cut up of course, but can you imagine being able to walk along through the wing.... it is more than six feet thick! The C-82 fuselage is fascinating as well.
Cheers,
