gunpowder Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Most the photos i have seen of the b-36 peacemaker parked have the elevators deflected up. I also noticed in when i was watching SAC the other day. The peacemaker was taxying with them deflected too. Is it something to do with them being operated with the "trim" tabs?

MikeC Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I'm not that knowledgeable on this particular type, but that does sound plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
