For me it would be Harvard trainer. every trainer is one more pilot being churned out to overwhelm the opposition.

Great pic Greg, it isn't Susie Q from Midway, do you know when/where/etc. anything about that pic?
But the thread is asking for "Most Bad Ass Looking"...
Unless that is still the Harvard for you. That's ok. To each their own...

No, comparing the livery of different aircraft to ascertain which one has the meanest look is rather like peacocks comparing their plumes to see which one has the prettiest feathers.
To me, the aircraft(s) most able to generate the following headline is the one to be most feared
If you break down which aircraft is contributed most to making that headline possible, it has to be the trainers that produced the pilots to fly the planes that made the headline a reality.

Oh wait! The thread is "Looks Badass", not "Looks like Ass" - my bad!

Badass is supposed to mean ugly looking, threatening, and powerful, not ridiculous, incompetent, and impotent! This one's BVR (Beyond Viagra Redemption).Then there's this French abortion...

Looks can be deceiving
The Ba.65 looked far more menacing than its performance warranted. On the other hand, the Spitfire was kind of cute.

As was the Thunderbolt in a rolly-poly "huggy bear" sort of a way, despite its badass performance and firepower. Steel fist in a velvet glove is not what this thread is about, is it? More like an iron gauntlet with knuckle spikes and fresh blood on it, n'est ce pas?

No, but aren't we looking for ugly, menacing, and effective, not pretty and seductive? I think there's a difference there. Vive la difference! (Sorry, my French is 50+ years old.)

Most Bad Ass Looking? Boeing Yb-40 hands down!
I think the T-6 / Harvard would be a strong contender for most cost effective.

Now, for the Most Bad Ass Effective, there are only 2, take your pick. Enola Gay or Bock's Car.

There is only one way an AT-6 could look badass...
I agree, but that's another thread. Good idea, why don't you start it? We can have a lot of fun with that.
