Description
An almost life-size model airplane mounted atop a stand directs one to "Watch This Space!", indicating that the "plane" is used for billboard-type advertising. The plane is powered by electricity, as shown by the attached wires (right) and the motion of the plane's propeller (left). Various homes and businesses can be seen in the background, but the exact location in Los Angeles is not provided.
