YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Delta Air Lines regional jet had to make a surprise hard turn on Friday to avoid colliding with a U.S. Air Force B52 bomber.

The SkyWest Flight 3788 plane was flying from Minnesota to North Dakota when it crossed paths with a B-52 bomber that was performing a flyover at the North Dakota State Fair. The commercial pilot made an abrupt sharp turn to avoid a midair collision with the B-52. The SkyWest pilot was later met with applause from the passengers and the plane eventually landed safely in Minot, North Dakota.

The FAA, SkyWest and the Air Force are all investigating the incident.
