A visitor from - posted Fri November 28, 2008: I am assuming the aileron position is due to their dual purpose of acting as speed brakes. Would love for someone to clarify.
A visitor from - posted Fri November 28, 2008: They are the speedbrakes
A visitor from United States posted Fri November 28, 2008: Its so sharp, its in Las Vegas... oh the memories.. brings me back to the greatest game "Jane's USAF" and, the plane looks like a toy for some reason.
A visitor from - posted Fri November 28, 2008: Nice one! To the visitor from NZ, please note the A-10 has splitted ailerons that work also as air brakes. For this reason both sides are deflected up (and down too, albeit not seen)
A visitor from Spain posted Thu November 27, 2008: Good picture but I wonder how can the aircraft be turning with both ailerons up?
A visitor from New Zealand posted Tue November 25, 2008: Unusual Image, the a/c banking to the right, but the l/h alerion appears to be more defelcted (+) than the r/h alerion which would normally be associated with the a/c banking to the left.
A visitor from United States posted Tue November 25, 2008: Son of a gun! That's a good shot.
