Captain Sim B-52 (proper level attitude takeoff and landing mod)

The Buff has a variable AOA in the horizontal stab. There are fuselage markings that indicate its angle at the leading edge. The nose down look is caused by aircrew setting that angle. There is also a stability augmentation system, SAS, tied into it. I was in avionics and this is the best of my memory. Believe the adaptation was to keep the AOA of the high lift wing at its best angle.
