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

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...
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...

Oh wait! The thread is "Looks Badass", not "Looks like Ass" - my bad!
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.
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?On the other hand, the Spitfire was kind of cute.
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.)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.
Ha, ha. Roger that!Most Bad Ass Looking? Boeing Yb-40 hands down!

I agree, but that's another thread. Good idea, why don't you start it? We can have a lot of fun with that.I think the T-6 / Harvard would be a strong contender for most cost effective.
