United flight from Montana to Denver returns with bad sensor

A United flight from Billings to Denver safely returned to Billings less than an hour after takeoff because of a sensor malfunction. The Billings Gazette reports the flight took off from Billings Logan International Airport at 11:13 a.m. Wednesday and turned around seven minutes later. The plane circled the airport for more than 30 minutes before landing at 12:09 p.m., according to FlightAware tracking. Kevin Ploehn, the airport's aviation director, said it appeared the plane had a bad de-icing sensor, which would make it difficult to show ice buildup on the plane's wings. He says there were 48 people on the plane.<br/>
