Jet Blue Bird Strike on Takeoff
« on: June 08, 2013, 12:33:16 PM »
On June 6 a Jet Blue flight (JBU1205) struck numerous birds just after takeoff from Westchester County Airport (KHPN).  The flight diverted to KJFK and landed safely.  Here's the edited audio of this flight from takeoff to landing along with links to flight track on flightaware and the AV Herald.

... and here's some of their communications with the ramp. Apparently there was an open mike somewhere on the field or a local carrier at the NSA eavesdropping site, but most of it came through.
