"A United Airlines Boeing 757-200, registration N510UA performing flight UA-27 from New York JFK,NY to Los Angeles,CA (USA) with 105 passengers and 7 crew, was enroute at FL360 about 12nm southwest of Harrisburg,PA and 72nm northnortheast of Washington Dulles approximately 30 minutes into the flight, when the crew reported a small fire in the cockpit, which was quickly contained. The crew decided to divert to Washington Dulles, where the airplane landed safely 23 minutes later."
