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. |
