A close call involving a commercial flight is under investigation after an incident Friday at Minot’s airport. SkyWest flight 3788, operating as a Delta connection from Minneapolis, was forced to perform a go-around when another aircraft became visible in their flight path during landing approach.
The airline says the tower had cleared them for landing, but pilots had to take evasive action. Media reports suggest the other aircraft was a B-52 from Minot Air Force Base, though that hasn’t been officially confirmed. The commercial flight landed safely after the incident. Both SkyWest and military officials are investigating what happened.
