Hey, Sid, we is nose heavy!
Scene, Singapore, circa 1977 (or thereabouts).
CV880 freighter operated by AirTrust Singapore to Abadan Iran (oil company flights) failed to rotate and went off the end, due to severe mis-loading (confirmed later by weighing the boxes, which were grossly mislabeled).
On board this particular flight was an FAA inspector giving a final check to a new (to the company) Flight Engineer.
Yes, the FAA still does this overseas, if you ask nicely, and know those higher up, and indeed, there is absolutely no charge for this service.
Anyway, the F/E pulls all the fire handles, fires all the bottles, and all crew exit the aeroplane, no injuries.
The FAA inspector then says to the F/E....'well, we've covered all the emergencies, the next flight we can concentrate on the normal procedures, I hope!'
An absolutely true storey.
