Close Call at Reagan National Airport: Delta Plane and Military Jet
A harrowing incident occurred at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) when a Delta Air Lines flight narrowly avoided a collision with a U.S. Air Force military jet. The near-miss, which took place on a busy Friday afternoon, prompted the immediate diversion of multiple flights and sparked a thorough investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Eyewitnesses reported seeing the Delta plane descending towards the runway while the military jet was simultaneously performing a training maneuver. Air traffic control swiftly intervened, instructing the Delta flight to abort its landing and go around, preventing a potentially catastrophic outcome. The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety protocols and communication between civilian and military air traffic at DCA.
The FAA, along with Delta Air Lines and the U.S. Air Force, are currently reviewing the incident to determine the cause and prevent future occurrences. No injuries were reported, but the event has left passengers and aviation experts alike calling for a review of safety measures at one of the nation's busiest airports.
