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.

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!

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

I 100% thought this was upside down
