Default Geometry of jets, e.g. Pictor A

Is there an example of an active galaxy with extended million light
year long radio and or xray jets such as Pictor A, where the Hot
Spot is within the larger lobes rather than protruding to one side
as is the case in Pictor A?


It is only a line of sight effect but any where the jet is pointing
nearly towards us within the envelope of the radio lobe will do.

3C303 would appear to be a good FRII candidate for this.

ie, if the jet is coming right at us, then the hot spot ought to
be close to centered within the lobe on our side of the BH emitting
the jets.


3C84 aka Perseus A NGC 1275 might just about fit that tag. It is
confusing though - originally first thought to be a Seyfert galaxy.
