Biff,
I found this image on two locations. Neither one disclosed the
the location of this P-38 picture.
On one of the images was posted the following:
www2.gvsu.edv External bomb load of 4,000 lbs. or
ten 5 in. rockets..... It doesn't take a rocket scientist to
see that there is plainly 7 rockets on each wing....
I wish I had your answer, Jeff

That was a nonstandard installation on the P-38; they used the Christmas Tree rack operationally for 5 inch HVAR, although some earlier airplanes had the rocket tubes. Based on it being an experimental installation I would assume the shot was taken at Burbank.
I zoomed in on the fuel truck but cannot get a hack on what it says. However the ramp is paved, and has stripes/ partially sunken lights and the vehicles definitely look American. Trees / foliage plus the rolling hills in the background on the right makes me lean towards California as well.
Cheers,

Biff, the back of the truck looks like it says "Shell" - hard to say, though.
The cars parked all around the perimeter are definitely American and could be the Lockheed Air Terminal (currently the Bob Hope/Hollywood Airport - BUR), which was the delivery site for Lockheed's new aircraft being delivered to the USAAF's Technical Service Command.

JU-87 looks badass all by itself; hang a couple tank buster cannons on it, you got super badass. But the all time gold standard for badass is the McD F-4B with the "dog pecker" IR sensor under the radome and a full house of Sparrows, Sidewinders, and long nose frag bombs.

Sorry man, I just could not resist.........................
Not everyone has great taste like me...
Yes, but looking at them from head-on, you'll likely not notice how badass they look til the barrels light up, then it's too late!
Cheers,
Wes
Sorry, no version of the Hurricane is just plain "yewgly" enough to compete with a Stuka tank buster in the B A department! It can't even beat out a BF-109G for second place. And third place is reserved for the "gun nose" B-25H.
Cheers,
Wes

one of the baddest asses of WW2
This thing don't care if you can turn on a dime and give change.
From a great height and distance it will take you out, period!
Just a slight premonition of times to come.
