A Delta Air Lines (DL) Airbus A319-100 operating flight DL2983 from Washington National Airport (DCA) to Minneapolis (MSP) narrowly avoided a midair collision with four U.S. Air Force T-38 jets during initial climb on March 28, 2025.

The United States Air Force (USAF) operates the largest and most technologically advanced air fleet globally, with 5,004 active aircraft in 2025.

In an unfortunate incident, a KC-46A Pegasus recently underwent an emergency landing due to an issue with its refueling boom.
