Yes - the DC-9's elevators effectively 'float' and are manually powered by their servo tabs. Any forward airflow will tend to align them flat, but parked on a stand with a wind from behind and they'll each be blown either full up or down - often in different directions.
You'd have thought actually there'd be gust locks as a strong gust would surely damage an elevator at it's stops ?
