they selected flaps, but they didn't deploy and this went unnoticed
Highly improbable.
What would be the take-off run in this case?
I'm not a pilot of Tu-5 but mostly everybody agree that in case of T/O without flaps they will end their flight in the fence instead of Black Sea.
Has anyone the max. speed limits for the 15 and 28 degree flap settings at hand?
