Sharkasaurus ????

That's the most aggressive looking Jet Provost...er, sorry, Strikemaster...that I've ever seen. Takes "constant thrust, variable noise" to a whole new level of dangerous!

Interesting one here - a P-38J with triple bazookas installed on each side of the fuselage. Oh, and sharkmouth markings (kindda) on the engine nacelles:

I think this pic was taken around the same time showing a close-up of the bazooka installation:

Random thought, I wonder how many US and Japanese wrenches are scattered all over the pacific?

A couple more P-38s for all y'all. Both seem to be called "Bat Out Of Hell" but appear to be different airframes:

No teeth - but with a little imagination...

 

[Wayne Little]

nice shots...

That's a completely fake photo. The guy on the right is an officer (looks like a Flt Lt) and he's handing a tool to the SNCO opposite him. That's WAAAYYYY too close to actual work for any real officer!

But he might be selling the tool to the NCO ........... in return for the NCO doing all the work !

 

[Robert Porter]

That is far more likely than just handing it to them. Officers after all own everything they just let us enlisted folks use it as long as we put it away properly when we are done!

 

[buffnut453]

But the officer is actually TOUCHING the aircraft! Are they even allowed to do that? Where's the WO or FS telling him to disappear in short, sharp, jerky movements before he does some real damage? Like I said, fake news!
