US military plane and JetBlue flight nearly collided over Caribbean, radio traffic shows

A JetBlue pilot reported narrowly avoiding a midair collision with a U.S. Air Force refueling tanker over the Caribbean after the military aircraft flew without its transponder on, making it invisible to radar. The incident occurred shortly after a flight departed Curaao for New York, forcing the JetBlue plane to halt its climb.
