The mid-span and inboard leading edge flaps automatically retract whenever the reversers are deployed (boeing design). As soon as the reversers are stowed those leading edge flaps drop down again.

Great photo... splashhhh!

A nice action shot showing the reversers being applied. She's a pretty worn looking lady. Does anyone have any idea as to why only the outboard leading edge flaps are extended? Both the mid-span and inboard leading edge flaps remain retracted even though it looks like Flaps 25 or 30 has been selected.

Lots of water here, Roger! Very nice photo but I bet the passengers were very disappointed as they'd been expecting sunshine and a blue sea ;-)
