Narrative:

I was receiving flight instruction in a beechcraft 76, at georgetown memorial airport. The flight began with a touch and go landing, the gear was extended and 20 degrees of flaps were used. After touchdown, the flaps are normally retracted on the runway before the addition of full power. To assure that we do not raise the gear by mistake, we have a procedure in which we look, touch, and talk when we raise the flaps. On this landing, I was in a hurry and did not look, but did touch and talk. At this point the gear handle was moved to the up position. The main gear were still down and locked. However, the nose gear had become unlocked. The aircraft's airspeed was too high to engage the pilot safety switch but too slow to hold the nose off. The aircraft pitched down forcing the unlocked nose gear to retract. The aircraft slid to a stop on the nose. We secured and evacuate/evacuationed the aircraft with no injuries.
