Most "Bad Ass" looking Aircraft of WW2

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
 
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.
Cheers,
Wes
 
For Vietnam era stuff id say you have a winner. I'd throw a sharks mouth on that Phantom just to sinch the deal. ( I've seen a few so painted)
