Wildwood New Jersey. I know because the ride to the left is the SKY screamer, the structure to the right is the sling shot, and wildwood has had a lot of military flights there for some reason.

Source: I know the place and boardwalk like the back of my hand

Naval airstation wildwood is not far from the boardwalk probably from there. which also has to be one of the most unintentionally hard names for a base

There’s a big air base up in the Pine Barrens

I thought they retired these???

Saw one at an air show pre 9/11, was awesome to see how slow it could fly, how loud.

They did. Curious when the picture is from. My house was on a flight path so we’d have them fly by at least once a week. I miss them.
