Mike,

I think you're right about the P-82 vs. P-51 fuselage in the B-36. A friend of mine grew up in that area and visited Soplata several times. The way it was related to me from him was they were "Components" of the XP-82. It was unclear whether all the components to complete airframe existed somewhere on the property or if only portions of the fuselage remained.
