HAMPTON, Va. (DC News Now/WAVY) — A Delta plane and a U.S. Air Force T-38 Talon from Langley Air Force base in Hampton had a near collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Friday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and news reports. According to an FAA statement, Del ta flight 2983 was cleared for takeoff around 3:15 p.m. Delta said the flight was following regularly scheduled service between Washington, D.C. and Minneapolis-St. Paul. The plane left at the same time that four U.S. Air Force T-38 Talons were flying to Arlington National Cemetery for a flyover, according to the FAA, which did not say where they were flying from. However, CNN reported that the U.S. Air Force T-38 Talon involved took off and landed at Langley, citing information from FlightRadar24. It said in a review of tracking data, it showed the T-38 Talon flying past the Delta plane and airport going more than 350 mph at 800 feet. The FAA said that the Delta aircraft got an onboard alert that another aircraft was nearby. Air traffic controllers gave corrective instructions to both aircraft. Cherry blossoms hit peak bloom, drawing large crowds to DC’s Tidal Basin Delta said that the flight had two pilots, three flight attendants and 131 customers on board its plane, which was an Airbus A319. "Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people. That’s why the flight crew followed procedures to maneuver the aircraft as instructed," Delta said in a statement. The FAA said that it would investigate this near-miss. It comes after National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Jennifer Homendy, testifying at a hearing earlier this week on the fatal midair collision between a plane and military helicopter near Reagan National Airport that killed 67 people in January, said the FAA had data going back to 2011 showing that collision alarms were sounding inside cockpits at least once monthly due to how close planes were getting to helicopters. NTSB chairwoman says reviewing the data after midair crash may prevent the next aviation accident The FAA, however, didn't act, she said, and the agency's acting administrator, Chris Rocheleau, said Thursday at a separate hearing that the agency must do more to make sure flying stays safe.
