A Case Of A Premature Takeoff

An Air Maroc jet had a little problem with catching air at Frankfurt airport.

You're really not supposed to do that on takeoff.

    I'm thinking high density altitude and/or early rotation.

    Shouldn't he have some flap extension?

    I am not a pilot but his wings don't look like he has flaps set for take-off.

    Frankfort is not high altitude so that is not likely to be the problem.

    Early rotation seems likely.

    Yep, flaps don’t seem set for takeoff and likely early rotation as a result.

    Yep, no flaps... Miracle he made it without MAJOR problems, becuase that's an old 73 with the original engines...
