(not sure if there is a text book bird strike, but this was handled so well)

Story by Matt Hladik
A Boston-bound Delta Airlines flight had a brief, but frightening, setback Saturday night when it had to make an emergency landing due to a bird strike.

The plane, flight 1399, was leaving Miami International Airport when it struck a flock of birds shortly after takeoff, per reports. Since the creatures appeared to hit one of the plane's engines, the flight immediately returned to Miami.  “Delta flight 1399 from Miami International Airport to Boston Logan International safely returned to Miami shortly after takeoff following a reported bird strike to one of the aircraft’s two engines," Delta said in a statement, via WSVN. "The flight will continue on shortly, as planned. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

The flight did resume its planned route, arriving at Logan International Airport in Boston two hours behind schedule, according to USA TODAY.

Listener Forum / Re: DL3165 Engine Failure - Intrested in getting the ATC communication if possible

Sorry to say, not much to be found with this flight.  You can hear DAL3165 departing KCMH but the engine failure didn't happen until the pilots were talking to Indianaoplis Center.  Unfortunately, LiveATC doesn't have coverage for the frequency they were on so no audio is available at the time the incident happened.  The only audio available after the incident is when they contacted KCVG Tower as you were about to land.  But it's partial audio as you can only hear the tower controller and not the pilots for some reason.  Sorry, wish there was more.

Listener Forum / DL3165 Engine Failure - Intrested in getting the ATC communication if possible

« Last post by InkyKnightmare on September 13, 2025, 23:07:15 UTC »

Hello there,

This morning I was a passenger on DL3165 going from CMH to ATL.  After about 15 minutes of being in the air we heard a bang and eventually our pilots told us one of the engines failed and that we had to diverted to CVG. It was quite the experience and I am interested to see if there are any recordings of the ATC communication. I originally posted this to Reddit and they suggested I reach out here.

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this or not. I am more than happy to provide any additional information about the flight if that would help.

Thanks!

(Bit of a lengthy listen but worth it, took a bit as approach/departure are on the same scanner, but picked out 99% of it.  Kudos to the ATC's at KMKE, rock stars.
and to the pilot who circled  until the Coast Guard arrived.  all turned out good)

WIND POINT, Wis. — The U.S. Coast Guard rescued three people Thursday after a small aircraft went into Lake Michigan near Wind Point.
All three occupants were wearing life jackets and were uninjured, according to Lt. Joe Neff with the Coast Guard. They were taken to the Coast Guard station in Milwaukee, arriving about 2:30 p.m.

"We’re very fortunate that not only they, all three were safe in the plane crash, but then were able to have life jackets to float there in the water for about 40 minutes before we got n scene to pick them up," Lt. Neff said.  Their aircraft took off from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport around 12:17 p.m. and was headed to Michigan when it encountered a problem in flight, according to a spokesperson for the airport.

The plane then ended up in the waters of Lake Michigan about 20 minutes later.

"All three were in the water, not sure if they were hanging onto the aircraft but all three were in the water," Lt. Neff explained.
