Here's a very close call as recorded through the HUD camera of a T-38C.

That was about as close as it gets without aluminum scraps flying.
Back in the '80s, the Navy aviation safety magazine APPROACH had an
article
about a Tempo Pinto trainer on final that struck a Cessna 150. The
nosegear of
the jet basically ran over the wing root of the 150. Both planes landed
safely.
the Cessna had a huge dent in the wing, the Pinto had a scuff on the
nosewheel
tire. In other words, this was an actual collision between two metal
airplanes
without aluminum scraps flying....

I've had a couple close calls in my day. They suck.
