The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a near-miss between a passenger Delta flight and a B-52 bomber over North Dakota.
“The FAA is investigating the event involving SkyWest Airlines Flight 3788 at Minot International Airport on Friday, July 18,” a spokesperson for the agency told NOTUS on Monday. “Air traffic services were provided by the Minot air traffic control tower, which is run by a private company. These controllers are not FAA employees.”
The flight, a connecting flight for Delta Air Lines, had taken off from Minneapolis and was cleared for landing in Minot, North Dakota, on Friday until its pilot suddenly had to change course. The flight eventually landed safely.
