Delta Air Lines flight DL1466 departed runway 16L from Salt Lake City Airport on the 16th of May but the crew stopped the climb at 9,000 feet and started circling due to wrong speed indicator.
The Boeing 737-932(ER), with registration N873DN, circled for more than one hour before returning to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) due to a malfunctioning speed indicator, possibly caused by a pitot tube issue.
