The first time I thought he was going off into the grass. The nose wheel looked to be close to full right, but they kept going essentially straight. Eventually it grabbed and they made the turn. The same thing happened on the remaining turns to the runway. The pavement was dry, and the taxi speed seemed normal to us, but maybe it was too fast? Is this something that a 74 does, or was this poor piloting?
