Whatever that is for, it’s not the sort of thing you want to see when you look out the plane’s window.
Plus, whatever that tape is, some of it looks like it’s peeling off. having a piece of lose tape flapping around near a control surface while flying is probably not optimal. Not to mention a strip of that tape could peel off on takeoff and foul the runway.

...having a piece of loose tape flapping around near a control surface while flying is probably not optimal.The hydraulics controlling those surfaces are plenty powerful. They have to be, just to fight wind resistance. The air brakes on the F-4s had an aluminum collar that locked them open when on the ground. Apparently people have been killed when jets were powered up for maintenance and the switch position didn’t agree with the flap position.
