So, you're saying they collided.

What airport?

near miss
noun
1.
a narrowly avoided collision or other accident.
synonyms: close thing, near thing, narrow escape, close call; informalclose shave
"two airliners were involved in a near miss yesterday"
Furthermore, why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?

It really wasn't THAT close

The 172 pilot probably didn't even know it happened....until the phone call.

Stinkin' drones!

In the world of planes and helicopters - that is pretty fricking close.

Near miss...so you're saying they collided.
Yep...that phrase bothers me. Sounds better than "near collision" but not accurate.

Oh man that would have been a hell of a fender bender.

Speaking of what might have been a near miss...
I was on a commercial flight earlier this year flying at cruising altitude. It was a clear, sunny morning and I was in a window seat just behind the right wing flying NW.
I happened to look out of the window just as another plane crossed directly below our path perpendicular to us. It was close enough for me to clearly identify the carrier's color scheme and pattern and our plane bounced upward slightly, like in weak turbulence, a second or two afterward.
Any pilots or aviation experts of the OT think this was fairly normal or was it unusually close?
I fly a few times a year and have often seen other planes flying a few miles away, but this was much closer - I guesstimate about 800 - 1000 feet.

The same thing happened to me landing at DTW. A private jet flew right under us on our approach. But it's hard to get a perspective on how close the plane actually is.

Flight patterns are separated by 500' increments.
I'm not a pilot so I don't know the rules but it's two flights could cross at 500' separation in normal cruising... say one going east and one going north.
I think east-west are on 500' altitudes and north-south are on 1000's. IE east might fly at 3500 and north at 3000. Something like that.

"The E in east is not for Even", under VFR flight rules below 18,000 Ft planes on a heading of 0-179 degrees fly at odd thousands plus 500 feet, I.E. 3000, 5000, 7000, plus 500 feet, traveling 180 through 359 degree headings it is even thousands plus 500 feet so total vertical separation is 1000 feet. Above 18,000 ft instrument flight rules are in effect and commercial traffic is spaced to provide a one mile separation in any direction. It has been a very long time since I have used this stuff, but I think I got it right.
