A Delta Airlines flight on July 19, 2025, experienced a startling near-collision with another aircraft, according to an audio recording from the cockpit. The pilot of Delta Flight 3788 recounted the incident, stating that air traffic control initially instructed them to turn right. However, they quickly received a revised instruction to turn left after another aircraft was identified on a converging course. The pilot expressed significant concern regarding the lack of prior warning about the other plane, which was identified as a military aircraft, possibly a B-52. "Nobody told us about it," the pilot stated, explaining that the control tower at their location operates visually without radar. However, the pilot noted, "the airport base does have radar," questioning why no heads-up was provided. The pilot described the sudden maneuver as "aggressive" and "not normal at all," expressing relief that a collision was averted. Passengers were reportedly caught by surprise by the sudden turn.
