Question for folks who've been around Raptors that've been put to bed: How do the engine nozzles sit when the aircraft is parked and shut down?

I came across a pic of a bird being serviced that has them both wide open, like the talons of well, a raptor. Very cool looking, like it's looking for something to grab hold of. Just wondering if that's normal or if something was being serviced.

Yep. Wide open. Looks cool and sounds cool when they start up.

All the jets we had (TDY) at Hill, they stayed open like the picture.
