Photo Comment

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.
