Aircraft; Human Factors
Nose gear shimmy due to poor runway condition; nosegear broke loose from the aircraft; no propeller strike.
A lot of things went wrong [on] this flight; included; but not limited to the nosewheel shimmied uncontrollably and separated the strut from the firewall. The pilot in command did not renew his pilot license; he had the old pilot license. I do not feel this was material to this incident.
During taxi; Cessna nose wheel shimmied and caused the nose landing gear strut to separate from aircraft firewall. Pilot's license had expired.
