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

Jump

  • 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.

  • OMG, I'm trying to enjoy my vacation and I make the mistake of checking the news and seeing my police chief being a complete tool... again.

    Russo is also infamous for stalking a city council member by parking at her house every night. He was dismissed from his previous department for very controversial reasons. He's the reason I gag every time I pay property taxes. We'd actually have a fairly progressive district (for Utah) if it wasn't for this ass-hat and the general car-brainedness of our city council.
