B-36 question

Posted by george on Sat Dec 15, 2001 11:57:46 AM

Most of you probably know that a B-36 crashed on take-off from Carswell AFB in Fort Worth in 1949, and sunk in Lake Worth off the north end of the runway. My Dad used to take us sailing on the lake in the late 50's, and the old man who rented the boats used to always say to watch out to not hit the centerboard (keel) of the boat on the B-36. Was it still in the lake then? If so, what about now? Thanks for any info.
