Yet another close call at DCA
-
This T-38 jet was doing some sort of route At 3,000 ft when it essentially dropped to 800 feet as it flew over DCA Reagan airport. Here’s a screenshot I took of the replay. So weird.
It was brought to my attention since a departing Delta flight to Minneapolis (that I took the exact same one in December) got a collision alert and had to ascend faster or something.

TLDR: Flight controllers didn't hold departures for 5 minutes like they're supposed to during military fly-overs. Also, kudos to a damn article with actual TLDR facts in the title and not clickbait!
I'm trying to find the tower audio that the article/CNN heard, but no luck yet...
