Close Call at Reagan National Airport: Delta and Military Jets
A harrowing incident occurred at Reagan National Airport (DCA) on March 28, 2025, when a Delta Air Lines flight narrowly avoided a collision with a U.S. Air Force T-38 Talon jet. The Delta flight, en route to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), was involved in the near-miss, which has sparked significant concern over air traffic control protocols.
According to reports, the Delta plane was preparing for takeoff when the military jet was simultaneously landing on an intersecting runway.

The findings of the investigation will be crucial in preventing future incidents and ensuring the safety of air travel.
