The aircaft was in open storage at San francisco for some years. At the time it was owned by one of Howard Hughes' companies and was under watch 24 hours a day by guards to prevent anyone from approaching the aircraft and any photography - this photo was taken by some misdirection. It was eventually was sold for museum display.
