Taxiing out for the return flight down San Francisco Bay to Oakland Airport, where this B-29 was based. Built as B-29 45-21787. Transferred to US Navy as P2B-1S BuNo. 84029. Its US insignia, Skyrocket launch record board and the recently applied NACA tail markings had all been removed for use in the 1979 Disney movie "The Last Flight of Noah's Ark". Those markings had all been re-applied by November 1979. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
