I think the pilot of this A-7 is using the incredible angle of incidence of the horizontal tail to keep the nose up as a party trick at the Greenham Show. There must have been limiters in the controls to prevent such a deflection at high speeds!!! This photo is copyright © M D West, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
