US airline pilot makes aggressive maneuver' to avoid colliding with air force bomber
"The pilot described the experience as not a fun day at work, stating that he needed to take aggressive action to avoid a B-52 bomber."
"The pilot expressed surprise at the situation, saying, 'I don't know why they didn't give us a heads up, because the airbase does have radar.'"
The pilot of a SkyWest flight needed to execute an aggressive maneuver to avoid a B-52 bomber while landing in Minot, North Dakota. After being cleared for landing from Minneapolis-St Paul, the pilot noticed the bomber on his right and was instructed to go around. The pilot was surprised by the situation, stating that no one informed them of the B-52 in the pattern. Despite the abrupt maneuver, passengers remained calm during the incident, which the pilot characterized as unexpected and not typical.
