Nearest near-miss?
On final glide back home, 6000 ft,I was passing by an active field that produces alot of biz jet traffic, about 6 miles to my right. I was watch that area to my right pretty consistently as I was passing by the departure runways path. When I took a look to my left there was an Airbus bearing down on me. He went into a left roll just as I saw him. I rolled right and down. If he hadn't seen me it probably wouldn't have worked out.
I am now equipped with both Flarm and a transponder.

Nearest near-miss?
20 years ago we had an "aircombat" school/experience based near us using Marchettis. I was in a thermal still a ways from cloud base when I heard a pair of engines unwinding and I saw the pair in a desending streak passing my cloud vertically.
