So there is a reason DL did a morning takeoff as slide 45 shows us a hot ...

I got a good lead on the next one though.
I first looked at all the usual suspects such as the Embraers and the 737/320 but none of them matched the spoilers in the picture, the spacing and configuration of the hinges were all wrong. I did think about the 728 since I remember the A.Net threads from six years ago when it was cancelled but I ...
