Nope. You can tell by the shiny surface that it's "300 mph" tape.

It's OK. He has a license to apply 300 mph tape from a $6,000 step stool. The 500 mph license costs more.

I'm fairly sure that Alum tape is STC'ed for that job, and the man applying it has an A&P cert.
Of course, there are exceptions ... like that Cathay Pacific 747 that got grounded in Stuttgart because a terminal employee looked down the intake and noticed that three stators inside were being prevented from excessively vibrating by strapping them to adjacent stators with seatbelt extensions. -

This is the scene where a baggage cart knocks the mobile stand out from under the comic hero, and he hangs from the wing by the super-tape stuck to the hair on the back of his hand.

My son served on a submarine. When he finished his enlistment he brought home a couple rolls of 3M "nuclear grade" tape - surplus, I'm sure. Don't know its velocity rating, but it's good to depths "greater than 800 feet", which is what he'd tell me whenever I asked how deep the thing could go.

That's where this is going: if Obama cuts back on the Pentagon budget, I guess I'll be buying stock in 3M and selling my Lockmart and Boeing.

You all got it wrong.
This is a Russian airplane, and the mech is fixing a short by running
an extra wire to the doodad.
And it's a Russian STC to cover the wire with speed tape...happen all
the time, you know!!! -

Non adhesive aluminum tape plus double bubble epoxy is stronger than most of the non load bearing structural components on just about any cargo aircraft.
Don't ask how I know this, just go get yourself some, it's better than Duck Tape, by a long shot. -

Don't laugh but this is the way they fix small punctures in planes. Note I said punctures, not tears. A couple of years back a baggage handler managed to put a fork lift into the side of a plane I was scheduled to take - small puncture - they shipped off photos to the manufacturer, the engineers gave their blessing and they taped up the hole. [I happen to know another engineer there and we called him from the boarding lounge to confirm that this was what was normally done.] Off we went.

Actually, the dark green tape was known as "EB green" or "5000 foot tape" back in the day when "boats were named for fish and manned with men!"
