A SkyWest flight, acting as a Delta connection between Minneapolis to Minot, North Dakota, was cleared for landing on Friday when the pilot “performed a go-around” to avoid colliding with a B-52 bomber, the airline said.

The close encounter near Minot International Airport forced the Minneapolis-to-Minot flight into an "aggressive maneuver," with the pilot saying it was "not normal at all."

A pilot flying a Delta Air Lines regional jet on Friday apologized to his passengers after making a hard turn to avoid colliding with a US Air Force B-52 bomber, audio from the incident shows.
