If that gives you shivers.....
You should have been in my RV-3 on Saturday.

Some bonehead at 2000 feet in a C-150 tried
to T-bone me in the left door... if I had one.
He missed vertically by 25 feet or 30 feet.
Classic case of head in the cockpit???

A couple of weeks ago, nearly identical situation.
However, I saw that perpetrator coming early on.
Like this dude, he took no evasive action at any time.

Flying low is not for me anymore, but not much way
to avoid this crowed airspace when transitioning from
cross-country to landing or takeoff.

Everyone - not only keep your head out of the cockpit,
but on a very active swivel. The other guy may not looking
out for you.....or even himself.

Barnyard BOb -- maximum safety is a helluva challenge

It sounds like with all of the problems you have with traffic, you ought to
be considering getting some type of collision avoidance system installed.
ALL the help YOU can get sounds like it is needed..

ps make sure the barrel of the thing is heated or it will jam up on
you just as you need it. :-)
