I've missed if anyone knows where the flight was bound for. If someone does, and there are any B738 operators reading this with their i-pads handy, perhaps they could crunch some numbers for a full load and enlighten us. I would be interested if this was a F5 full chat or not.
I remember one day, B757, when the end of the runway seemed to be coming up faster than usual on a reduced take off day. Option, increase thrust; we'd gone past VMCG, but in any case....... It turned out to be a mirage and optical illusion. Unlikely at BRS, but I'm curious if there was more thrust available. I didn't detect any increase in engine sound. Afterwards, a pilot mate of mine (in the days when you could) came for a chat and asked what happened. He'd felt & heard the increase in thrust to full umph.
