Collision warning sounds in cockpit of Delta plane due to close call with Air Force jet near Reagan National Airport
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/28/us/delta-milita...

The close call happened just south of DCA airport, close to the spot where an American Airlines regional jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided, killing 67 people, on January 29.

Another close call over training flights?

Friendly fire. It's a US usp.

The only TCAS RA I’ve ever had was in the US (in New York airspace) and it makes up the bulk of my company’s occurrences. They’re fking cowboys.

Many crew have actually reported that ATC are pissed off at you when you follow the mandatory guidance.
