T-38s are training planes. So some 23 year old was going way too fast and too low in one of the most problematic civilian-heavy traffic spaces in the country. Absolute BS.
It was FOUR T-38s doing a flyover at Arlington Cemetery.
On Friday, Delta Air Lines Flight 2983 was cleared for takeoff at the Reagan airport at about 3.15pm, at the same time four US air force T-38 Talon aircraft were inbound, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement.
The jets were heading for a flyover of Arlington National Cemetery when the Delta aircraft received an onboard alert of a nearby aircraft. Air traffic controllers “issued corrective instructions to both aircraft”, according to the FAA, which intends to investigate.

This is so dumb. Sorry, but we don’t need flyovers at Arlington. They already do the cannon salute. If one of those flyovers runs into a commercial airliner, all you do is traumatize the family of the veteran/soldier being interred at ANC plus at least 100 other traumatized families.
Who was being laid rest that necessitated a flyover?
