     JetBlue 1112 departs at 1640, so at least visability was good neough to see   
   them, if they were operating without a transponder most likely their TCAS was   
   in standby as well.  Which means the flight crew would not have received a   
   TCAS traffic or resolution advisory..   
      
     Had this been at night, there is a chance the military aircraft would have   
   also been operating without navigation lights, which most likely would have   
   resulted in a collision.   
      
    There really needs to be better guidlines for military aircraft, either fixed   
   wing or rotary operating in a terminal area.  IE, unless opsec dictacts to   
   either use VHF to communicate with ATC, or have the UHV frequencies   
   crossbanded to VHF for better situational awareness by other pilots.  Now it   
   appears unless operating in a published MOA or again OPSEC dictates, they must   
   be squawking a transponder.   
      
     The incidents of military vs. civilian aircraft seem to be increasing..
