Nope. That's Blue Angel #5 doing his part of the 'Sneak Pass' during Fleet Week in San Francisco several years ago. There's a short YouTube clip out there somewhere that this .gif was derived from.

I kinda doubt it, if you look at the very end of the run I think that's a Blue Angels paint job it's wearing
That looks very similar to the Sea Fair in Seattle. I was up there about 3 decades ago with the Tosti Austi unlimitted hydro during testing on Saturday when the Blue Angles were practicing for their Sunday show. Where I was on the pit dock and was 120-150yds from the pilot that did exactly what's shown in that video all the way down the front straight of the track. It was surreal to watch live, definitely a very cool experience!

I hopped a ride on this bad boy today with our 13yr old Godson. B17 G, toured it yesterday, got up this am. I was surprised as to how small it actually was for what they accomplished, 10 man crew.
The survival rates of crews flying these makes one think twice. I guess Surreal is the only word I have.

Damn! Makes my 650 look slow. I want two of whatever this is.
Okay. It's a Camden machine. Still want one.

Since you didn't post your "dimensions": The average sized man of that day was quite smaller than today.
I'm guessing that was an airshow... Looked like a Blue Angel F-18.
Yes, I agree. I referred to overall size of the plane. Lol, at 18, I was not getting in the ball turret or be a tail gunner, that was 1976, kids today way bigger than myself.
The downside is only kids pre-puberty can fit in that ball turret... The good news is they're really good at video games
Seems I heard something about UFOs/aliens, navy pilots and senate hearings earlier today.
Hope you are doing alright Barney.
Glad to see you on here.

Thanks mate, it is helping take my mind off things for a while....
Takes time Mate. The only thing that helps is a good Wife, Family, Friends and time.

Caliber? Looks bigger than a rifle round but smaller than a cannon.
WHAT CUSTER LEFT BEHIND. In May 1876, Brig. Gen. Alfred Terry with Lt. Col. George Custer left Fort Lincoln (near Bismarck, ND) with three .50 caliber and two 1-inch Gatling guns. The 1-inch guns, as in the photo, were likely left at Powder River Supply Depot near Terry, MT. After Terry and Col. John Gibbon rendezvoused, Custer left the .50 caliber guns behind to avoid slowing the 7th Cavalry. Sec. Lt. William Low and the Gatling guns of the 20th Infantry were assigned to Gibbon.
F. Jay Haynes captured the view at Ft. Lincoln in probably June 1877. The mix of uniform styles included coats made for the Civil War. One of several caissons for ammunition was in view. Haynes stereoscopic camera used glass-plate negatives that required chemical baths immediately before and after shooting. Click image on a PC to better see detail.

Chain drive like the trucks on the old cotton plantations? Asking for a friend.
Can't put air in conveyor belting?
That takes a special kind of talent.
because the mask is not made to protect you from catching it, but to prevent you from spreading it
imagine standing on the street with a big sign that basically says “I’m an idiot”
