On March 28, 2025, a Delta Airlines Airbus A319 narrowly avoided a collision with a U.S. Air Force T-38 jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Delta Flight 2983, carrying 136 people to Minneapolis-St. Paul, received an onboard collision alert, prompting air traffic controllers to issue corrective instructions to both aircraft. The incident occurred as four T-38 jets were inbound for a flyover at Arlington National Cemetery. This close call raises concerns about military flight paths in congested airspace, especially following a fatal midair collision in January near the same airport. The FAA is investigating the incident. (PC: Getty Images)
