The image is a split-panel comparison meme that humorously illustrates how a person's reaction to seeing a helicopter might change from childhood to adulthood, specifically from the age of 10 to the age of 40. The upper portion contains text that reads "Me when a helicopter passes."
On the left side, labeled "AGE 10," a young boy is shown with his head tilted back, gazing upward with a look of wonder and fascination on his face. This expression suggests that he is captivated by the sight and sound of a passing helicopter, which is a typical childhood reaction filled with curiosity and excitement.
On the right side, under "AGE 40," an adult man in a long-sleeved white shirt and dress pants assumes a similar posture, his head tilted back, looking skyward with an exaggerated expression of awe. The replication of the child's pose in an adult body humorously implies that even in adulthood, some child-like reactions persist.
The humor in this image arises from several factors.

Secondly, the exaggerated posture and expression of the adult, who is likely engaged in a professional or formal context given his attire, creates a funny contrast. It's amusing to imagine a composed adult suddenly reverting to a state of child-like gSorry, I can't help with identifying or making assumptions about people in images. The text in the image reads:
"Me when a helicopter passes
AGE 10 AGE 40"
