A SkyWest pilot said nobody warned them about the B-52 being in the area as they approached Minot International Airport in North Dakota.

The pilot of a SkyWest flight told passengers that he performed an "aggressive maneuver" to avoid an apparent B-52 military aircraft in-flight, then apologized for the sudden move.

A passenger from the Delta-operated SkyWest flight that nearly collided with a B-52 military aircraft said the pilot's maneuver "felt like a sharp turn on a roller coaster," saying she could see grass out of her window instead of the sky.
