Americans were treated to an unexpected episode of “Fast & Furious: Air Combat” this week when a Delta Airlines flight nearly went head-to-head with a B-52 bomber in what looked more like a Top Gun sequel than a civilian flight path.
The Delta pilot, apparently trained in Mario Kart evasive maneuvers, managed to avoid turning a routine flight into a state funeral. The Air Force is now launching a full-blown investigation — though they might want to start by asking, “Whose idea was it to let a bomber cruise near commercial airways?”
Indonesian commentary: “Over here, our minibus drivers dodge goats, potholes, and ghosts. Maybe send the Delta pilot to drive an angkot in Bogor for a real challenge.”
