Lowered the nose!
I believe that on certain FJ displays now, the undercarriage is lowered during their high alpha low speed passes, to prevent the automatic systems kicking in to lower the nose, as the computer thinks the aircraft is in landing configuration and hence wont activate the flight envelope protection system.
