She might look calm but F16’s absolutely hate bath time. They’re constantly squirming, trying to escape. You usually need a couple people - one to hold her down, one to wash her. And my god they just whiiiiine the whole time! Just big babies about the whole thing.

They don't call it a Wild Weasel for nothing!

I’m going to assume that was not a test since there was a real plane in there

Looks like it was a test of a suppression system in New York. The jet is an F-16 judging by the single vertical stabilizer over a single integrated engine. I initially found the picture in this fire protection post but the source is probably this Air Force blog post which is now lacking a picture.

Cleanup would've been messy and likely pollute the surrounding area but an important aspect of fire suppression foam like this it that it wouldn't harm the entirely-too-expensive aircraft.

Omnomnomnom. Tasty PFAS!

Fire suppression? That going to be a costly repair.

And the groundwater there is going to be contaminated for thousands of years, but it was an important jet in an important war and they'll understand.

I 100% thought this was upside down
