This ~is~ a C130, yes?

I had never noticed this before on a 130. Maybe it was just an odd
angle or something.
It looks dorked up a bit.

Maybe that's what ~he's~ shooting?


Hi Jess,
This is the left elevator, pictured from the rear. Hercules' elevators
have a "horn" at their end.
Look at drawing:

item #115.

Thanks for the information Olivier. It's not something I noticed in my last
Hercules flight - which was in 1968 or 1969!

Right. This looks like the kind of horn designed to balance the efforts given
to the elevator, but it is really tiny.
By the way, I see most pictures of Hercs available online show their typical
front and profiles, not many their rear side.

This one shows the hole, at the rear end, on a pretty good angle :

But (speaking of rears) I still don't "understand" the picture posted
in the initial picture. It seems to me that something is rising before
the hole (did I write that ?), I mean that the upper part if the tip of
the elevator seems twisted upwards... instead of gently going downwards
to join the lower side...

The Eco class is noisy.

THANK YOU! I don't feel quite as insane.

That was my original question. It looks dorked!
But still I'll defer to the possibility of an odd
angle and lack of true comparisons being posted
thus far.

Hi Phil, how do you do?

Nice shot of the detail.

I didn't think about making it before you replied. Find attached the
original picture, size 200%, with 2 treatments: negative and "level"
range selection. Both reveal... your hole ^^
I see nothing weird in the original picture. The weight of the elevator
makes it rest so. Poor rising something which will never enter the h...

Inside the "hole", I see a central smaller darker disk (hole?) with 8
other similar disks all around. But the elevator still looks OK to my
eyes. I made again a negative picture to confirm I see the same. It
looks shaped like in the detail picture sent by D.520.

The initial picture is taken from rear under. The horn is shaped like
half a bulb, so maybe it's a matter of perspective and how 3D curves
are seen with this angle of sight. Or the "problem" may be in colors,
sky grey vs. camo grey with a brighter area of the bulb, better
reflecting the daylight.
Really I don't know. But it keeps looking OK to me despite my efforts
to find twisted things.

Well, it's kept you out of mischief for a while!
