JetBlue Pilot Nearly Crashes Into Ghost Tanker, Blames Invisible Air Force While Democrats Cheer
A JetBlue flight from Curaçao to New York City had to slam on its air brakes last week after nearly colliding with a US Air Force KC-135 refueling tanker that apparently forgot to turn on its “I Exist” button. The pilot, clearly not a fan of stealth military operations, radioed air traffic control in a panic, claiming the tanker had no transponder and was “outrageous.” Outrageous? Buddy, you’re flying a budget airline with pretzel service. Keep your outrage for when the peanuts run out.
The incident occurred Friday as Flight 1112 was climbing out of Curaçao, that tiny Dutch Caribbean island currently being used as a staging ground for the Biden administration’s latest “war on drugs” campaign. Of course, this is the same administration that can’t secure its own southern border but somehow finds time to play Top Gun in the Caribbean. The pilot claimed the Air Force tanker crossed directly in front of him at the same altitude, forcing him to abort his climb. He then watched in horror as the military plane zoomed into Venezuelan airspace.
Coincidence? I think not. This is clearly a deliberate plot by the deep state to scare commercial pilots while providing cover for their secret meetings with Maduro’s regime. They probably left their transponder off so they could smuggle socialist propaganda into Venezuela under the guise of military operations. Don’t be fooled—this isn’t about drug interdiction; it’s about creating chaos so they can justify more military intervention in Latin America while Americans suffer from inflation, open borders, and terrible airport food.
JetBlue’s spokesperson, no doubt trained in corporate speak at some Ivy League school, said they’ve reported the incident to “federal authorities” (translation: they’re hoping someone else deals with this mess) and will participate in any investigation (translation: they’ll send a lawyer who bills $800 an hour). Meanwhile, the Pentagon, in typical fashion, referred questions to the Air Force, who responded with their usual deafening silence. Smart move—why explain yourself when you can just make the problem disappear?
The FAA, meanwhile, recently issued a warning to aircraft about “heightened military activity” near Venezuela. Heightened? Tell me, when did routine military operations become “heightened activity”? When did our Air Force start flying invisible planes? When did we decide that Venezuela, a country we’ve spent decades sanctioning into oblivion, suddenly became too dangerous for commercial traffic?
The real question here isn’t whether this was a near-miss—it’s why our military is playing hide-and-seek with civilian aircraft while our borders remain open, our cities burn with crime, and our economy collapses under the weight of socialist spending. Under President Trump, we had space force. Under Biden, we have invisible air force. Make America visible again.
