I just back from an event not too far from where I live. What was the event and what plane is in the picture.

The plane looks like a B52 from that angle. The event was Thunder over Louisville. (Air Show)

My advice on aging gracefully... ride fast bikes and date faster women, drink good tequila, practice your draw daily, be honest and fair in your dealings, but suffer not fools. Eat a hearty breakfast, and remember, ALL politicians are crooks.

And Rader Bill is correct.  ;) It is a B- 52 F-52 comming in for a strafing run using all tracer rounds in it's 50 cal guns. :D  I hope no one believes that.
I just can't fool A military man like Radar67. It is a B-52 making a fly by at the air show before the Thunder Over Louisville Fireworks. I live just 45 miles away and this year was the first year I have gone to the event. Amomg about 50 planes performing at the air show, I thought the F-22 was the best. That plane did some things that I didn't thing was possible.  They had a civilian flying a helicopter doing some things that even DanG probably hasn't done. It was announced that flying a helo upside down is easy once, but the trick is to be able to do it twice.  ;)

Definitely a B-52 and I believe it's a "D" model.

I worked on them for 2 years while I was stationed at Dyess AFB, Abilene, TX, 1970-1972.

Seen all kinds of them here before Loring closed. Cracked the glass in a  couple windows. A couple were lost in back woods NB from crashes. ;)

I live close to Whiteman Air Base and see them all the time, along with Stealths and A-6 Warthogs. I know in VIetnam, it sure woke you up when the B-52's dropped near you. :o

We grew up a few minutes from Loring AFB.  There was always a B-52 in the air along with suppport fighters.
People were devasted when they closed Loring.  Others would say the animals came back after all that noise was over with.
