A Delta regional jet pilot apologized for a hard turn to avoid a US Air Force B-52 bomber near Minot, North Dakota. The SkyWest Flight 3788, operating as a Delta Connection flight, made a go-around after the bomber unexpectedly appeared in its flight path. The pilot, in a TikTok video, explained the situation and apologized for the abrupt maneuver. SkyWest is investigating the near-miss; the FAA is gathering information as the incident occurred outside FAA tower jurisdiction. Passengers reported feeling a sudden jerk during the evasive action. The B-52's high speed contributed to the need for immediate action.
