On of the bomber's engines and propellers faced 14th Street. That side of the building covered part of the mural with a fire escape.

The mural looked huge when contrasted to those waiting at the SFMTA stop for either a J-Church trolley, or a 22 Fillmore bus.

One of the engine's props rested behind the lip of the building, one of the others overlapped the outside of the building.

Beyond the airplane in the mural was a painted sunset. The perfect metaphor for a San Francisco tavern.
