ws.com... For all the VFR flight I've done, the only time I have ever gotten close to another craft unintentionally was near an airport. See and avoid? Perhaps, but I don't recall ever maneuvering to avoid another aircraft during VFR cruise. Perhaps your good fortune or lack of attention has lulled you into a false sense of security. In my 500+ hours, I've been almost dinged twice -- once some 20 miles out from Pasa Rubles and once in the middle of nowhere. Both were near head-ons. And I'm willing to bet that there have been more I've not been aware of, since in both cases the occupants displayed no reaction to my presence whatsoever. |

I've had dozens of close calls, several of which required very abrupt maneuvers to avoid collision, most of them far from airports. The big sky theory is just that, a theory. -- Regards, Stan |
