Post by: KB4TEZ on March 31, 2021, 06:41:59 AM

A Delta Airlines flight DL-8944 from Salt Lake City,UT to Memphis,TN  with the Utah Jazz Basketball Team on board, was climbing out of Salt Lake City's runway 35 when the left hand engine (PW2037) ingested at least one bird. The crew stopped the climb at about 8000 feet and returned to Salt Lake City for a safe landing on runway 34L about 15 minutes after departure.
