>Shocking audio from the cockpit of a JetBlue plane has revealed the horrifying moment the passenger jet narrowly avoided a collision with a US Air Force tanker. The pilot was forced to halt ascent from the Caribbean nation of Curaçao to avoid smashing into the military plane on Friday after it allegedly crossed his flight path. 'We almost had a midair collision up here,' the JetBlue pilot said, according to a recording of his conversation with air traffic control. 'They passed directly in our flight path. ... They don't have their transponder turned on, it's outrageous.'
