On May 17th, a JetBlue Embraer ERJ-190 registered N306JB, performing flight B6 1806 to New York was forced to return to Washington Dulles after suffering a Bird Strike on rotation from Runway 30. The crew were on initial climb when they reported they had hit something on takeoff and that there was some noise and vibrations from behind the nose wheel.

This is the second time in a week. Same flight (IAD-JFK), same emergency, but different aircraft. Crazy.
