Kinda looks like a MAURICE FARMAN SHORTHORN MF 11 on toons.  :)  I think Graeme is on the right track though.  :)

Hands down that's an F-35.
You might think that what he's holding in his hand was a stick, but it's just a switch, similar in effect to this one:

Looks to me like Edd China's great-grandfather, Fredd China taking a test drive of his new flying Isetta.

Mike - you can remove the "Fly" component from the instrumentation. It proved incapable of flight and the experience cost $250,000 over 4 years - so I dunno why the pilot/designer is grinning. Looks very complicated and dangerous, especially to ground personnel. 

From the US of A and the year was 1926....

Thank you Graeme for one of the best DADAIST/avionic photograph I've ever seen
I'm particularly impressed by the trousers bottom right   ;)

Cheers

Just from the instrument panel and basic construction … it's possibly a glider of some sort, maybe?  :)

One that never flew if I'm not completely mistaken - a monster machine.
