## Discrepancy

DURING TAKEOFF FROM GOOY, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT.  THE CREW WAS ABLE TO RETRACT NOSE GEAR WITH HANDLE LATCH FLIGHT RELEASE.  WHEN NOSE GEAR RETRACTED THE TAKEOFF WARNING HORN SOUNDED, THE CREW PULLED GROUND SHIFT BREAKERS, WHEN THE LEFT BREAKER WAS PULLED THE HORN SOUNDED, PULLED THE RIGHT BREAKER PER PROCEDURE.  THE CREW RETURNED TO GOOY AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.
