>The close call happened just south of the airport and close to the spot where an American Airlines jet collided with a army helicopter in January, killing 67 people.
>According to tracking data from FlightRadar 24, the Air Force jet flew past the Delta plane in excess of 350 miles per hour.
>The FAA said the military jet was in the area alongside three others for a flyover at Arlington National Cemetery.
The T-38 passed behind and below the airliner.
The T-38 was carrying out a flypast so would've filed a flight plan and been in contact with the controllers, so why did the controller release the airliner for take-off knowing it would cross the path of the flypast.
