A flight from Jacksonville had to turn back after the 25-year-old aircraft experienced a technical issue.

The Delta Air Lines flight DL1329 departed Jacksonville but pilots stopped the climb at very low altitude and started circling.

The Boeing 757-200 to Atlanta, with registration N698DL, was experiencing a technical issue as flaps could not retract.

In a statement Delta said the crew on Flight 1329 noticed the flap issue and the plane turned back shortly after takeoff.

It landed back in Jacksonville 41 minutes after departure, the exact same flight time scheduled to Atlanta.
