In the bug thread here http://showthread.php?t=240565&highlight=Nozzle it was mentioned that the F110 nozzles are driven by engine oil rather than the flight hydraulic system and the TF30 nozzles are driven by fuel pressure.

 

That being the case, how is it that F-14s, particularly A models, were frequently seen with one or both nozzles open when parked? In both cases the nozzle loses pressure as its engine shuts down and should close on its own.

 

Here’s one TF30 example: f5742c0e5a594a539656477c71aa23b0.jpg

 

And in this one both nozzles are open: 728b2d5df5c6329dbad2531a4be60b90.jpg

 

Was this something that happened with the ground crew during maintenance?

Thank you for your post. That behavior however only applies to the F-14A and all the pictures presented are of the F-14A. The nozzle of the F-14B would only stay closed after shutdown in SEC mode and was generally a sign of dysfunction in F110 Tomcats.

Really? I remember the nozzle behaviour being changed from opened after shutdown to closed due to SME feedback.
