Delta Flight and Air Force Jet in Near-Miss Incident Near Reagan Airport

A Delta Air Lines flight narrowly avoided a collision with a military jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on March 28, 2025. The incident occurred when the Delta flight, en route to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, came dangerously close to an Air Force jet participating in a flyover at Arlington National Cemetery.

According to reports from KARE 11, CNN, Newsweek, and Fox News, the close call was attributed to a 'loss of separation' between the two aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently investigating the incident to determine the exact cause and to prevent future occurrences.

No injuries were reported, and both aircraft landed safely. The event has raised concerns about air traffic control and the coordination between civilian and military flights in busy airspace.
