I wasn't referring to the gear either. I said that a Hornet guy, whom shall remain nameless, told us that they would enter the break at 350 kts with the flaps already selected full down, and as they were in the break, speed break out and throttle at idle, the flaps would deploy on their own as the speed bled off below 2xx kts(?). The one caveat here is, the Hornets he was referring to were Super Hornets. Maybe that makes a difference.
