Delta Air Lines flight makes emergency landing in Green Bay

GREEN BAY - A Delta Air Lines flight from Green Bay to Minneapolis had to make an emergency landing after an engine was damaged by an apparent bird strike shortly after takeoff.

Airport director Tom Miller says the Airbus A319 with 78 people on board safely returned to Green Bay just before 8 a.m. Friday.

Miller says recent rains have birds flocking to the airport despite efforts to scare them off. He expects less of a problem when dry conditions return.
