I don't post that often but I found your photo of the B-36 wing very interesting. While slightly off topic I don't see a reason for apologies.

Several years back there was a XC-99 at Kelly AFB in San Antonio. This was a cargo variation of the B-36 (see link). Recently that airframe was removed, supposedly for restoration and display at the Air Force Museum. I wonder if this wing structure was from the XC-99. As far as I know this was the only type of this variant ever produced.
