JetBlue A320 halts climb off Curaçao to avoid mid‑air collision with USAF tanker flying without transponder
JetBlue Flight 1112 from Curaçao to New York aborted its climb on 12 December after crew reported a U.S. Air Force tanker crossing directly ahead at roughly the same altitude while not transmitting a transponder signal. Controllers could not see the tanker on radar and later estimated its altitude at about 34,000 ft.
