No, this was relating to the YB-49 post that was above my comment. I didn't want to quote it since it was the post just above mine.

I thought that when the contract for the inital flying wing was terminated, all the remaining types were destroyed.
Northrop has show great reverence for many of its old planes and If it was one of the wing prototypes, they would have either kept it for thier own museum or donated it to an outside air museum etc rather than let it rot away in the desert.
Im leaning towards a set of wings that has been disassembled
