The Talon with registration 67-14833 had taken off and later returned to Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-leaderboard bn-2\"\/>\n<p>During takeoff, the Delta aircraft\u2019s onboard alert system detected a nearby aircraft, prompting air traffic controllers to issue immediate corrective instructions to both planes, successfully averting a potential collision. <\/p>\n<p>The Delta flight continued its journey and landed safely in Minneapolis.
