Airline pilots flying into Washington, D.C., have reported nearly a dozen near misses that were scarily similar to this week's midair collision that killed 67 people — the type of close calls that led one aviator to complain that Reagan National Airport was “probably the most dangerous” in the nation.
An Associated Press review of a federal database that catalogs such concerns found scores of reports of near-misses and warnings about congested skies over the nation's capital, with pilots repeatedly complaining about military helicopters getting too close to passenger jets.
