JetBlue Plane Near Drone Collision | Newark News

A JetBlue flight from Las Vegas narrowly avoided disaster Monday morning when its pilot reported hitting a drone at 3,000 feet—just above the cockpit—while crossing the coastline near JFK. The plane landed safely with no injuries, and post-flight inspections found no evidence of impact. This isn’t an isolated incident: the FAA logs over 100 drone sightings near airports monthly, and violators face steep fines or license revocation. As drones become more common, responsible flying—especially near active airspace—is more critical than ever. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
