💨 Abstract
On December 14, 2025, a JetBlue flight from Curaçao to New York's JFK airport had to halt its ascent to avoid a U.S. Air Force refueling tanker. The JetBlue pilot reported that the military plane crossed their path without its transponder on, posing a risk of midair collision. The incident occurred amid increased U.S. military activity in the Caribbean.
