  • Was this an attack on Blackwater? It's not immediately clear until halfway through the article.

  • Delta regional jet pilot apologizes to passengers for ‘aggressive maneuver’ to avoid a B-52 bomber

  • Pilot here: while that is generally true, for aviation the rule is that aircraft types that are in the same category have to give way to landing aircraft. Ie, a hot air balloon doesn't need to give way to a landing fixed wing but a fixed wing and fixed wing do need to give way to the landing aircraft.

    The Delta pilot should be commended and the B52 should have been more aware of their situation.

    In addition, ATC clearance generally means you have right of way especially on a landing approach.
