Close call between Delta plane and Air Force jet sets off collision warning alarm

A Delta plane headed to Minneapolis had a close call with an Air Force jet, which set off the plane's collision warning system on Friday.

According to the Associated Press, Delta Flight 2983 took off around 3:15 p.m. at the same time as four U.S. Air Force T-38 Talon aircraft were returning.

The Delta aircraft, which had 131 passengers, received a collision warning alarm when the jets were doing a flyover of Arlington National Cemetery, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. 

The FAA is investigating the incident after air traffic controllers "issued corrective instructions to both aircraft."

The near collision happened near Ronald Reagan Airport in Arlington, Va. just outside of Washington D.C., which is where a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter in January, claiming 67 lives.
