The gear locks straight ahead in-flight (and likely over some
groundspeed too). They only steer for slow-speed tight turns during
taxi. I think this has been discussed around here relatively
recently, but I only recall the B52 off the top of my head as having
truly alignable landing gear.

LANDING GEAR
The aircraft has retractable tricycle type landing gear. Measco and
Messieur Bugatti developed the main landing gear under a joint
agreement, which features six-wheeled bogies. Control of the steering
rear axles is automatically linked to the steering angle of the nose
gear. The main landing gear is fitted with Honeywell Carbenix 4000
brakes. Initial activation of the brakes during taxiing applies the
brakes to alternate groups of three wheels only in order to minimise
wear on the brakes. The nose gear is twin-wheeled and is steerable

Question on this. In several of the shots, it looks like the gear is
aligned with the runway. Is that the case? What other planes have this
feature?
