Passenger jet performed “aggressive maneuver” to avoid a mid-air collision with a US military bomber

A Delta Flight 3788, operated by SkyWest, had to perform a "drastic maneuver" to avoid a potential collision with a US military aircraft in the skies over North Dakota. The incident unfolded as the plane, which had taken off from Minneapolis, was nearing its destination in Minot. The commercial pilot, upon observing another aircraft approaching from the right, swiftly changed the flight path to ensure passenger safety. Such incidents, though rare, highlight the importance of constant vigilance and quick decision-making in aviation. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, there are thousands of near-miss incidents reported annually, underscoring the complex nature of air traffic management.
