HUD view of a near-miss

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.

I think it's scary cuz the pilot(NICE HUD, btw) didn't know he was
there....didn't look that close. Maybe 100 feet....

The circle in the middle of the HUD calculates where you will end up at
current speed, pitch etc. On final the circle was just below the runway
but the pilot knew it would rise slightly during the flare. There
probably wasn't much doubt. Compare that to a C-172 where you are only
somewhat sure where the plane will end up.

What was the other airplane? Viking? Comanche? Arrow?

It would be interesting to know if the guy in the spam can had any idea of
how close he came to having a very bad day.

I thought Comanche too (as a Comanche owner!) but it would be an uncommon
paintjob.

Graphic illustration of the dangers of low-level navigation.
Unfortunately, though these routes are published, most civil pilots
either are not aware of them or just ignore them.

Back in the 70's, My student and I nearly collided with a helo over
the gulf somewhere east of Victora TX in a TA-4J. We were at 500' MSL
on a published, highly used low-level navigation training route. When
I called FSS about the near-miss, they told me that the helos flying
to the rigs seldom filed flight plans and never talked to them. They
also told me that they nearly always flew at 500-1000' - which was
within the published altitudes for that route!

We recently had the safety officer from Sheppard AFB come to our EAA
meeting talking about the IR/VR low level routes and all the SUA around
the airbase. Then he showed several videos (including this clip). Scary
and one clip was a mid-air. I was once flying over Lake Texoma in North
Central Texas at 2500' ( ground elevation is ~ 750') and 3 C-130s went
UNDER me. That was interesting.

I used to fly gliders out of Kelly Air Park, about halfway between
Colorado Springs and Denver. Good lift, up around 14,000', and it
wasn't unusual to see a C-130 or a B737 go by. Not a near miss, but
close enough to catch your attention.

When I got out of Air Force flight training I chose a slot to fly a
C-130 out of Langley AFB. The Powers That Be changed it to a C-121 out
of Korat, then an AC-119K out of Phan Rang.

The rest, as they say, is history. :)

Now *that* I would like to see a clip of! Wow! Must have been a fantastic
view.
