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.
Or at pictu http://motomom.tripod.com/rudder_elevator.jpg

That horn is a mass balance weight. Without it, the plane could be in a
heap o' hurt, due to flutter.
