Now that is a very nice shot. One question, though. What's that thing that looks like a slat on the leading edge of the right wing? Or is it a flap backwards?  |

That is the leading edge slats. They were still retracting. The leading edge flaps are inboard of them.

Sure wish we had a PMDG 727. That's one I could use. Looks nice just the same though.

So what's the advantage of having both leading edge slats and Kreuger flaps? Does it depend on conditions? I've always been given to understand that they're pretty much the same. |

If I recall correctly the 727 has a total of 16 different flap panels fore n' aft.
