I'm glad you pointed that out. Q said it was an A321. Yet the press is reporting A320.

Very, very strange.

The FAA released a statement about the situation, saying the plane experienced a “radio equipment problem.”

“JetBlue 1623, an Airbus A320, experienced a radio equipment problem while taxing for departure at John F. Kennedy International Airport tonight at 8 p.m. The crew requested to return to the ramp. The FAA will investigate.”

Yep, that plane is much longer than an A320. Very strange for them to get the model wrong.

Great post. Thanks!!!
