DOD Flirting With Aviation Disaster: 2nd Near-Collision With USAF Tanker Off Venezuela
Just one day after almost killing everyone aboard a passenger jet, the US Air Force narrowly dodged another near-disaster off the coast of Venezuela -- this time with a business jet. For many, the two frightening incidents intensify a perception that the administration's militarism against Venezuela is as reckless as it is unwarranted and unconstitutional.
Within a day of each other, two midair disasters nearly unfolded off Venezuela involving USAF refueling tankers, like this KC-45 Pegasus (USAF Photo)
For those who missed our reporting on the first near-disaster, on Saturday, a JetBlue Airbus A320 heading to New York's JFK Airport from the Caribbean island of Curaçao was forced to take evasive action when the pilots suddenly found themselves staring down an approaching USAF refueling tanker at the same altitude and only two or three miles away.

"It's Outrageous": US Military Plane Nearly Collides With JetBlue Flight Off Venezuela
A US military aircraft narrowly avoided a collision with a JetBlue passenger jet in skies near Venezuela after crossing into the commercial plane's flight path without activating its transponder, according to air traffic control audio reviewed by The NY Times and others.
The JetBlue flight had departed from Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island roughly 40 miles off Venezuela's coast, and was heading to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport when the near-miss incident occurred Friday. That it was headed for JFK from what's a popular seasonal tourist destination suggests that most of the passengers were Americans on board.
"We almost had a midair collision," the JetBlue pilot said in the recording. "They flew directly through our flight path … and they don't have their transponder on. It's outrageous."
