United B737 performing flight from San Francisco to Denver was on the initial climb when the pilots reported they had probably hit a drone, causing unknown damage and would need to return to the airport.

The FAA later reported: "Aircraft struck a bird on departure damaging the pilot side window"

    The problem is that birds never call into tower or use their designated call sign.
  • @codemonkey2k5
    Jet Blue, you worried about the drone strike? Nope United took care of it for us.
  • @Freedom4Ever420
    Soon, all birds and bats over 250 grams will be required to register with the FAA, and carry a “remote ID” transmitter while flying in controlled airspace

    I bet American 1198 wishes he mentioned the wildlife on his climbout!

    SFO tower: " Seagull 69 you are in class D controlled airspace without a clearance. When you get a chance I have a phone number for you. "............. Seagull 69 : " I'm over the parking lot right now. Is that your freshly washed red car down there? "
  • I work at sfo with that airline. Yes, there have been a series of unfortunate events for us. However, im one of the mechs that got debriefed from the pilot upon return. Upon takeoff they saw something grey passing front of the capt window and hit just above the window. There were 2 jumpseaters in the flight deck and all heard a loud metallic thud. Thats how the write up described it. One person mentioned drone and idk why, but that's what they called it in as. Because of the recent news of united sfo, they returned out of abundance of caution. There was no damage to the aircraft, just a streak of blood above the capt window. Paranoia is what happened here. But no harm no foul. Btw go easy on us sfo maint dudes, we're trying lol

    Man, ever since that ATC argument a couple months back, I can’t help but notice every time I hear a pilot not ending a transmission with the call sign.

    Hats off to this channel. I know that blancolirio loves to use you as a source of information. I am always amazed by the professionalism of the Pilots, Control Centers, and Towers. Most normal folks when driving and hit a bird almost crash as the freakout. These pilots did not even raise thier voices and were totally calm in this incident. Thank you so much for allowing us to see and hear what goes on up top behind closed doors. I hope you know that you are a hero to us Luddites and pilots.

    The FAA later determined it wasn't a drone strike, but a wheel that had fallen off a Boeing.

    "yeaas ma'am, u know we hit one of them bleeding drones"
  • @WamRebel
    SFO and United is the most cursed combo in aviation
  • @underbird
    Hopefully the bird has complied with the remote id rule.
  • @sparkey044
    Blame it on a drone before you investigate.
