As of December of 2007, the B-47 had been fully moved to the Kansas Air Museum, but it was still disassembled. The fuselage is mostly intact, but the wings and tail need to be reattached, and the landing gear needs extensive work.

Kansas Air Museum Wichita, KS
B-47E Stratojet bomber on display at the Oklahoma City Fair Grounds
in the late 1980's. The Stratojet is displayed with a B-52, B-47
(with a WWII service record from the Battle of the Bulge), and the
prototype Aero Commander. The fairgrounds needed the space for
expansion in 2008, so these aircraft were moved in 2007. The B-47
went north to Wichita to the Kansas Air Museum. The B-52 went to
Air Force Plant #42 in Palmdale, CA, to be part of a new airpark
centered around the Blackbird display. The other two aircraft went
to a local tech school.
