mercenary pilot... seems to know how things really are.
I would like to know if the rate of rotation was too quick on the hawaii bound plane.
but seriously...if the plane wasn't loaded as the weight and balance info (numbers) said, the trim setting may have been wrong for takeoff.
that bit about the nose gear pin is a bit disturbing though. we kept our pins onboard the plane , checked them on the walk around and counted them in the cockpit.
