I discovered recently, on a flight from GLA - AMS, the F-70 can perform a flapless T/O. I was sitting just behind the trailing edge of the wing, it was a very long 5 min taxy from the stand to runway I thought about calling the F/A and quietly expressing my concerns but decided not to. I figured if the F-70 is anything like the 737 then the pilots would get an earful as soon as they advance the throttles on T/O without flaps. We departed without flaps and the we seemed to get airborne pretty quickly.
