In further thinking about this. LOL. According to the article proffered, the enlisted man whose job is to check the airplanes before they get shot off the carrier let this one go with its wings still folded.Β  LMAO.Β

Note that it is the pilot that has to unfold the wings mechanically.
The pilot didn't do it.Β  The enlisted checker missed missing wings.
