Pilot uses 'bold maneuver' to dodge midair collision with B-52
A Delta regional flight on its way to Minot, North Dakota, narrowly avoided a midair collision with a B-52 bomber by executing a sudden maneuver, leading to a tense situation for passengers onboard. The pilot, operating a SkyWest plane that had just departed from Minneapolis, expressed surprise that they were not informed about the military jet's presence. The pilot apologized to passengers for the abrupt action, explaining that they were caught off guard by the situation. Both the FAA and the Air Force are investigating the incident to better understand what led to this event, which occurred near Minot International Airport. Despite the nerve-wracking experience, passengers remained surprisingly calm, and the pilot's quick thinking averted a potentially dangerous situation.
