WTF is a 727 doing on a 5643 ft. runway with a 8390 ft. field elevation?

That's a density altitude of 10,400 ft. @ 59 deg. F.
Which is the equivalent of trying to take off in 2,565 ft. @ sea level
With 1-1.5 hrs. of fuel aboard and no cargo, it would have just cleared the
perimeter fence had the flaps been down...
