A Delta Airlines regional jet had to perform an aggressive manoeuvre to avoid a potential collision with a B-52 bomber over Minot, North Dakota. The incident occurred on July 18 during flight DL3788 from Minneapolis to Minot. According to the pilot, the bomber was moving much faster, prompting a sudden turn behind it to maintain safety. Passengers reportedly spotted the bomber from their windows, heightening alarm in the cabin. The pilot, in a video purportedly captured by a passenger, can be heard apologising. "Given his speed ... I don't know how fast they were going, but they were a lot faster than us, I felt it was the safest thing to do to turn behind it," the pilot said. "So sorry about the aggressive maneuver, it caught me by surprise, this is not normal at all. I don't know why they didn't give us a heads up, because the Air Force base does have radar..." The pilot can also be heard calling it "Not a fun day at work." SkyWest, operating the flight, confirmed the jet landed safely and said the incident is under investigation.
