in the early 80s four thunderbirds in their T-38 slammed into the ground north of las vegas, killing all four.  investigation revealed a nut had come off and lodged in the elevator bellcrank on the lead aircraft.  he was unable to apply enough g force to pull out of the dive.  a 2 cent cotter pin had not been put in the bolt and the nut came off, falling into the bellcrank.  if it calls for a pin, put it in.
