Drone strike reported in San Diego, California, on a Boeing 737 jumbo jet operated by United Airlines.
According to officials, the drone hit the plane at about 3000 feet as it was coming in for a landing from San Francisco.
“United Flight 1980 reported a possible drone strike just prior to arriving in San Diego,” United Airlines said.
“The flight landed safely, and customers deplaned normally at the gate. Our maintenance team found no damage after thoroughly inspecting the aircraft.”
According to the pilot, the drone was small, red, and shiny.
“Drone strike” in California was not on my bingo card today.
