Now I am operating on the Gulf
Coast and have a lot of close encounters with military training
aircraft on a weekly basis. I'll continue to keep my head on a swivel
and do my damndest to SEE AND AVOID to avoid being on the News at 9. I
can only hope every other pilot out there has the same attitude.

I don't know what you're flying, but from the military/civil MACs,
whose NTSB URLs I posted earlier in this message thread, I get the
impression that the military pilots, operating well in excess of the
250 knot speed restriction below 10,000' in their stoutly constructed
fighters and trainers equipped with ejection seats do not have the
same trepidation of colliding with a "LBF" that GA pilots have. After
all, the military pilots survived the MACs without injury.
