Question: Is the Fokker 70/100 an example of a flying tail?

What wiki has to say:
Supersonic aircraft now have all-moving tailplanes to counteract the Mach tuck when breaking the sound barrier and maintain maneuverability above the speed of sound. While technically called a stabilator, this configuration is often referred to as an "all-moving" or "all-flying" tailplane.
