Near Miss For Big Airliners
An American Airlines DC-8 with 44 aboard narrowly avoided a collision with a Navy single seater in bad weather at St Louis. The Navy plane, from Norfolk, was unable to contact the tower due to radio jamming and veered away as the DC-8 climbed after a near-miss at about 300 feet. The first officer said the Navy jet passed about 50 feet over the tail.
