US Air PHL bullet hole, call FBI
 

(CNN) -- FBI investigators were working Tuesday to discover what caused a small hole in the body of a US Airways jet, which was discovered by a pilot as he checked the aircraft before a flight.

The puncture in the Boeing 737 airliner is the size and shape of a bullet hole, but that doesn't mean someone shot at the plane, said Amy Thorenson, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Investigators don't yet know what could have caused the hole, she said.

The aircraft had flown to Charlotte from Philadelphia and was being prepped for another flight when the pilot discovered the hole above a passenger window toward the back of the plane, according to airline officials.

The airline pulled the plane from service and called in the FBI.

If that Plane was in newark recently, my bet is on "its a bullet hole"

Above the windows? So...either the US Captains have a slightly aerobatic side, or that one was heck of a lucky arc for a bullet to make.

US Airways getting shot at in Philly?

Edit: Ah, I guess this got combined. I didn't realize it was already a thread somewhere.

Do CA's do the walk-arounds at USAir?

Ever wonder what happens to the bullet after you fire a warning shot? What goes up, must come down.

Yes
 

Yes. They are ALL Captains at USair.;)

Does US Airways have flare guns in the overhead compartments?

Maybe it was an angry Westie!

I think this happened while the airplane was taxiing or parked. Otherwise, yeah. :)
