Empty fuel load plus weight of the snow maybe? We used to pack in half the maintenance troops into the cargo compartment to shift the cg forward and bring the nose back down.

Has anybody had this happen? I took this photo a couple years back, after we got fourteen inches of snow in one day.
The old C-54's (civilian DC-4) used to do that and required the pole attached to the tail on ground to prevent ending on their tails. They used to have problems taxiing as well and if you had a full load of personnel it was common to ask a number of passengers in the aft to come forward standing in the aisle until you took the runway to prevent ending up on your rear.

Does my tray table and scotch have to be stowed in first class during this flyby?
 

Sapper!

Excuse the BS...
My first thought was the video clip of the Apache doing a TERF and the pilot says "oh, yes of little faith" right before he clips some trees!

Funny you say that, I thought the exact same thing.....

I asked an Army aviator what happened to those two guys, apparently the other guy (the one of little faith) was acutally the CO if I understood correctly and well, they both got hammered for it. I'll have to ask my friend again, as they were briefed on that incident regarding how it relates to CRM.

How "durable" are helo blades to object strikes? Say a bird strike or if you accidentally clipped some trees.
