Boeing 737 forced to land after striking a .... bumblebee
A Norway Boeing 737 from Norway to Spain had to return to Gardermoen Airport after the airspeed indicators started to disagree shortly after take-off. The airplane landed safely about 35 minutes after departure.

Mechanics found a bumble-bee had struck and embedded itself into one of the pitot tubes of the airplane after take-off, effectively blocking that dynamic port of the pitot system. picked by bingo 6 months ago
