“Just quickly, I couldn’t talk to approach, but we collided with a drone back there in the turn,” the pilot said.

“You said you collided?” the air traffic controller asked.

“Yep, it hit us right right above the cockpit,” the pilot replied. (RELATED: 8 Dead In ‘Unsurvivable’ B-52 Crash, Air Force Official Says)
