A United Airlines Boeing 737 experienced a panel malfunction mid-flight on Friday afternoon, marking the airline's 9th incident in two weeks. The plane, which departed from San Francisco (SFO), landed at its intended destination as scheduled but was found with a missing panel upon landing, as reported by @sfchronicle. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is launching an investigation into the incident, focusing on how the older-model Boeing plane lost a panel mid-flight. In a separate incident, an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737, Flight 1282, had its windshield crack while landing at Portland International Airport on Sunday night. The flight, originating from Arlington, Virginia, landed safely despite the cracked inner windshield. Alaska Airlines has confirmed the incident, which adds to the concerns over Boeing 737 airliners' safety.
