Hard to believe this would happen, but it's happened before.
Interesting and of course would throw a spanner in -
Would any 737 MAX pilot ever entertain a flap-less takeoff from Addis with a 2300m Elev? -
This was a normal early morning departure (Temp was 16c) - busy pax load (149) for a 2 hour leg to NBO
Not sure if at or near MTOW (any cargo>?)
VR at 207 kts?
puzzled....
