A passenger jet made a hard turn midair on Friday to avoid a collision with a B-52 bomber, according to the pilot and the Air Force.
SkyWest Flight 3788, operating as Delta Connection from Minneapolis, landed safely in Minot, N.D., after the pilot “performed a go-around when another aircraft became visible in their flight path,” a SkyWest spokesperson to The Hill.
SkyWest is investigating the incident, the spokesperson added.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it is also investigating the incident, in a statement to NewsNation.
An Air Force spokesperson said it is “looking into the matter” and confirmed that “a B-52 aircraft assigned to Minot AFB conducted a flyover of the North Dakota State Fair Friday evening.”
