Re: Winds lift the nose of a 747 in Mojave
Well, without the engines in place, probably empty from the inside, very aft centre of gravity, deflected rudder, some pitch from elevators and horizontal stabilisers, I think it's fairly easy to lift its nose up, because if the line of action of the centre of gravity almost coincides with the landing gears, all that remains is the rotational inertia (which is still not small) of the aircraft itself.
