The only built-in "gotcha" at Bluegrass is the intersection of 22/26... almost co-lcated -- dark early morning... gotta watch those signs and double check the DG when lined up!!

8/26 is only 3500 ft. That's actually not too much room for a fully-loaded CRJ. In fact, it's doubtful that a safe takeoff could be executed since the the MTOW runway length is 5800 ft for the CRJ-200. My question is why was takeoff not aborted once the pilots realized they were running out of room, instead of forcing the a/c into the sky before reaching Vr.
