im an air traffic controller and just saw 2 10,000 footers almost kiss each other. Wasnt my fault though lol I was out of position when it happened. there were only 3 airplanes in our airspace when it happened - which means SOMEONE wasnt paying attention. I hope you all feel safe when you fly. :) ;) :) :)

was VFR conditions - 3 F-16's and a SR22 - pretty small plane. The F-16's saw it in sight - but people still got in trouble - as they should =)

oh man that is scary. I remember a story a few years ago of an F15 in formation crashing into a Cessna. The GA pilot is pretty much fvcked, hard to avoid an a/c closing with you at 300ish kts. at least the military pilot can eject if he's lucky.

for others' benefit, the SR22 is a Cirrus aircraft, and it's pretty kickass. Cirrus
