March 28 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration said it will investigate a close call that occurred on Friday between a Delta Air Lines ( DAL ) flight and a U.S. Air Force jet near Reagan Washington National Airport.

Delta Flight 2389, an Airbus A319 headed for Minneapolis, was cleared for takeoff around 3:15 p.m. ET (1915 GMT), while four U.S. Air Force T-38 Talons were inbound to nearby Arlington National Cemetery for a flyover, the FAA said.

The Delta jet received a cockpit collision warning alert that another aircraft was nearby, and controllers issued corrective instructions to both aircraft, it said. (Reporting by David Shepardson)
