I agree with Full Opposite. How many of us have forgotten stuff like retracting flaps?
There was an incident many moons ago (think 2008?) in a Qlink Q400 which managed a decent flap overspeed on departure. Recall something like IAS was 235 and the flap speed limit was 200kts until the crew realised they forgot the flaps and returned back to base (no load relief like Boeing types have)

I have done a few gear down ferries in the Q400 and the subsequent buffet is definately noticeable. How the crew seemingly missed this is a bit perplexing.
