Pilots -

Could someone explain that sudden pitch up following the strike?

It sounds like they were in a twin. They seemed to regain controlled flight - why did they go down?

Oops - just watched it again. I didn't have the speakers turned up high enough to hear "Ejecting to the north..." or the interphone "eject, eject,eject"

So military pilots - is the trim such that engine failure during take-off will give you a pitch up like that?
