I wonder if the flight was cheaper to fly on than a recognized airline would have cost for the 19 cheapskates. Get your moneys worth, guys?
it was a MD-87 not a MD-83
Asymmetrical leading edge slat deployment.
Too bad. I loved those planes. And still do.
As an aside the aircraft did manage to get airborne but hit some tall lamp posts in the rental car parking lot and then went down on the freeway leading into the airport.
I was the lead FAA inspector for the Airframe group.
My recommendation is, and always has been, read and use the checklist for all phases of flight. Regardless of the size and complexity of the aircraft.
