For several years, the last plane in the Convair B-36 Peacemaker series, a retired B-36J with serial number 52-2827, and inscribed as the "City of Fort Worth", was on static display at the Greater Southwest International Airport (GSW).

It had been loaned to the City of Fort Worth on February 12, 1959.

After GSW closed, the B-36 was moved, and significant efforts were made over the years by local groups to restore the plane and keep it in Fort Worth.

Transfer of the B-36 from Fort Worth to Tucson

In 2006, the U.S. Air Force transferred the airplane to the Pima Air and Space Museum, adjacent to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona.

It was placed on display in October, 2009, and is only one of four surviving B-36 Peacemakers.
