Delta regional pilot makes ‘aggressive maneuver’ to avoid midair collision with B-52 bomber

The SkyWest Airlines pilot, which is run by the Delta Air Lines, forced the performance of an “aggressive maneuver” to avoid the Air Air Air B-52 on Friday, and explained the frightening accident of the sound travelers who went to social media.

The accident occurred while the flight was carrying passengers from Minyabolis to Minot, and the Embraer E175 was not flying near the B-52 floor of the Minot Air Force base when the pilot took the justified action. Then the flight was run at Minot International Airport several times before landing.

“SkyWest Flight 3788, which works as a Delta Cass from Minynabolis, Minnesota to Minot, Northern Dakota on July 18, landed safely in Minot after it was cleared by the tower, but led to her era when she became another visible plane in the flight path,” Skywest spokesman said in a statement to Fox Progari.

“We are investigating the accident,” the spokesman added.

It seems that a video posted on social media includes a sound of the pilot explaining what happened to the passengers.

“Given his speed … I don’t know how quickly she would have gone, but they were much faster than us. I felt that it was the safest thing to do behind it,” said the pilot in the video, now virus.

“Very sorry for the aggressive maneuver.” This is not normal at all. I don’t know why it did not give us heads, because the air force base has a radar … a short long story, it was not fun, but I apologize for that, and thank you for the two understandings. Not a fun day at work. “

Fox Business has arrived at the US Air Force and the Minot Air Force base for more information.

One of the passengers, Monica Green, who was sitting at the front of the plane, described the atmosphere on the plane as “quiet, strange” given the sharp turns.

“Frankly, everyone was strange in a strange way,” she said to the KFYR local station. “I felt as if I was lighting myself, like perhaps I was crazy, because there was no one else who was interacting.

“I wrote my husband,” This is strange, we continue to spin at the airport, but we are not down. “

Green praised the pilot for being transparent and detailed around the situation, noting that he seemed tense while updating the passengers.
