Was flying a Cessna Citation X the other day from Dupage Airport in Illinois to Logan in Boston. I'm at 32,000 cruising along when somwhere over Ohio ATC announces a Boeing MD-80 also at 32,000 at my 12 O'Clock "Less then one mile". Next thing I know The airliner is cutting across my nose close enough to count the rivets! Talk about a near miss, If this was real life some Air Controller would be getting hauled in for a drug test I would imagine. This ever happen to anyone else?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Thats because when it say's less than one mile its tell you that the plane is not even a mile away and probably even closer. Bascally, if it is less than one mile then its anything from a mile away to a millimeter. Tongue

That happens to me all of the time! It has even happened in real life! It did not happen in controlled airspace, I was in the traffic pattern.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!
