Delta pilot makes 'aggressive manoeuvre' to avoid collision with military aircraft

A Delta SkyWest Flight 3788 pilot was forced to make an aggressive evasive maneuver to avoid a potential collision with a B-52 bomber while approaching landing in Minot, North Dakota. The incident, which occurred on Friday during a flight from Minneapolis, involved the commercial aircraft performing a sudden, steep right turn that left passengers disoriented and concerned. After safely landing, the pilot explained to passengers that he had to make the quick decision when he spotted the military aircraft on a converging course, noting that air traffic control had not provided adequate warning about the bomber's presence.
