^^Trim tabs maybe?
Does the hornet even have trim tabs? I figured FBW made that extinct?

I guess I have another stupid question. I remember talking with someone about intruders and remembered a comment about it being one of the last Navy aircraft you could fly with the canopy open... was this something that was ever really practiced? Just thought I'd ask since I have never seen/read about that!
For the CV helo dudes:
Looking at this pic http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showpost.php?p=463812&postcount=739
It looks like the H-3 is spotted and spread. If you had to launch and then recover w/ a deck like that, would this be a time for a "down the throat" clearance/approach? If they had to launch and recover on a SAR (or whatever), I don't really see a way for them to slide into the spot.
from the picture thread:
I gotta ask the Rhino guys... I just noticed this and realized this was being done on other Supers....why is that last stretch on the rudder surfaces kept unpainted?
It is so that the movement of the rudders can be seen during the flight control check. Some of those paint jobs make it hard to tell the position of the rudders.
I guess someone should tell Air Wing Five that....check out these Hornet tails.
I was making an educated guess. It might be a command or air wing policy.
Then my stupid question is a follow up to AJB37's: If the Marines won't be aboard the carriers after recieving their JSFs, then what was the point of making a Marine a CAG? And will the no Marines on the boat thing apply to the EA-6s or is the USMC getting rid of them too?
Thanks.
Umm, because there was a Marine squadron in the Air Wing? Just a guess, but I'd say any Marine CAG now is going to be long retired by the time the JSF arrives.If the Marines won't be aboard the carriers after recieving their JSFs, then what was the point of making a Marine a CAG?
