And they got all their flight deck clothes from DRMO so choices were limited.
Or nose strut teathers..
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?
The flight attendants would never let you sit in first.....
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!
Sapper!
Excuse the BS...
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.
