The scariest looking aircraft

[javert]

I always thought that the scariest and most impressive war machines were the big ships, like the battleships. When I was on Hawaii last year, I visited the Pearl Harbour memorial. They had a huge battleship there, the USS Missouri. I think it is the one where the Japanese signed the official capitulation documents. They also have a cruiser moored at the Thames in London that's open to the public and I visited that one some years ago. The HMS Belfast maybe? Those are fascinating. I also spent some hours on the USS Intrepid in NYC and speaking of aircrafts, I think they had an SR71 there.

I'm sure this plane struck fear in the minds of many British pilots.

AC 130 for the fire power B-52 for the payload.
Knowing an AC130 was on its way made you feel good.Just get the hell out of the strike area quick.

Check the add-on machine gun pods on that Stuka...
Holy fuck.
LOL
No wonder he has such a full card.
You could pretty much get that thing over enemy territory and just hold the go button while you fly in a circle and come home.
Just imagine the things that would have bullet holes in them. hehe

My vote:
I like the P-51 Mustang...

It's sexy mean... and they are still running them in air races.

+ infinity ..

Once I come up with a good picture of the P-51.. that will be my next ink job.

A-26 Invader was one of the most effective light bombers of WWII:

A b52 might have me looking for the nearest lead lined fridge

I've had the opportunity to see lots of planes over the years. My neighbor, a pilot stationed at Barksdale AFB, took me on a tour of a B-52. It took just a matter of seconds for me to realize that it was much more than just a plane.
