It had a multiple rotation to avoid nailing the tail. If I remember
correctly (it was a LONG time ago :-) it was 8 degrees on the ADI, followed
to 16 after positive rate of climb.
That's probably about right. I remember the 707 300 series was pull smoothly
to 14 degrees. It hopped off the runway at about 7 degrees anyway. Actually,
if you didn't do anything the aircraft would rotate on its own, usually near V1
though :-(
