In January, 2019, this aircraft had a run-in with a flock of geese, taking off from Spokane, Washington. We photographed this A320 on March 9, 2019 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

On January 11, 2019, this airliner was flying from Spokane, Washington to Denver, Colorado. On the climb out of Spokane, N484UA ran into a flock of geese. On of the birds impacted the cockpit window, covering it in blood. The airplane was diverted to Seattle, Washington for a safe landing. The flight continued an hour and a half later.
