Swiss Tiger demonstrating its nose gear extending capability.rnHave you ever had the impression that F-5 looks different when taking off? Well, it does.rnThe normal nose gear position as seen at the bottom is used for taxiing and landing, but prior to take off the nose gear strut is extended to change the angle of attack as seen on top. The fact is also reported on the radio by simple "Nose gear extended".rnrn
