Four jets came close enough to the Delta flight, which was taking off from Washington’s Reagan National Airport, to set off a collision-avoidance alert.

A Delta passenger plane and an Air Force jet flew narrowly close to one another outside Washington, D.C., on Friday, prompting a collision warning and "corrective instructions" from air traffic controllers.

The incident took place near Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington D.C., where a plane crash earlier this year claimed 67 lives.

Only 58 days after 67 people were killed in a mid-air collision between a passenger jet and an Army Blackhawk helicopter over the Potomac River, another air disaster was narrowly avoided Friday when a Delta jet bound for Minneapolis had a close call with an Air Force T-38 jet.

A Delta flight preparing to leave Washington, D.C. and an incoming military jet avoided a possible collision after reportedly coming within 500 feet of each other.

According to CNN, collision warning alarms sounded in the cockpit of the passenger plane headed for Minneapolis. The Air Force jet flew past at more than 350 miles per hour at 800 feet, according to tracking data.
