Can  be seen at the USAF Museum at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH.  A really cool place to visit if you haven't been.

I'm retired Air Force so I had to share when I saw the article this morning. I took my kids to the Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB back in the 90s. It's worth the trip if you're ever in Dayton, Ohio.  cooldude

One of the things that killed it was that it was the opposite of stealthy.  It had a huge IR footprint that sensors of the day could 'see' over the horizon.  Not a good characteristic for a nuke bomber.  It was cool looking though.
