Delta Air Lines flight 520 from New York JFK to Los Angeles had a piece of the aircraft fall off during climb out this morning, with emergency equipment meeting the flight on arrival. Delta substituted another Boeing 767, and passengers were sent on their way - expected to land in Los Angeles three and a half hours late.
For a thirty three year old plane, I wouldn’t call it too much of a “history of problems”. It was like 4 issues and one of them was hitting a bird.
