Narrative:

I was cleared for the VOR-B approach into washington county, PA airport. I was established on my inbound final approach course, past the VOR, cleared for the approach, and in radio contact with pittsburgh approach control. Visibility was very poor, averaging 3-6 mi in fog, smoke and haze. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a camouflaged mlt passing directly under me very close, 100' maximum. He had approached me from my 8 O'clock position and departed from my 2 O'clock position. Immediately after our near miss, the pittsburgh controller came on frequency, sounding agitated to me. He said, 'small aircraft aircraft X, traffic passing under you, it may be an mlt.' I responded that it was an mlt, and he had 'just missed me'. I continued my approach, called the field upon visual contact, cancelled my flight plan and landed. No further discussion of the incident took place between the controller and me. At no time was I in contact with the mlt, nor did I recall any radio communications between ATC and the mlt. Obviously ATC knew of him, because he identified him before I had reported the incident on the radio. While I take full responsibility for seeing and avoiding other traffic, I feel that both the controller, who had us both in radar contact, and the military pilot, who had me at his 12 O'clock position, could have done a better job of anticipating this incident. By the time I saw the mlt, he was under me. Had we been at the same altitude, I would have never known what hit me.

Title: PLT FLYING SMA ON APCH INTO AFJ HAS NMAC WITH AN MLT WHICH PASSED UNDERNEATH WHILE OVERTAKING FROM BEHIND.

Narrative: I WAS CLRED FOR THE VOR-B APCH INTO WASHINGTON COUNTY, PA ARPT. I WAS ESTABLISHED ON MY INBND FINAL APCH COURSE, PAST THE VOR, CLRED FOR THE APCH, AND IN RADIO CONTACT WITH PITTSBURGH APCH CTL. VISIBILITY WAS VERY POOR, AVERAGING 3-6 MI IN FOG, SMOKE AND HAZE. OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF A CAMOUFLAGED MLT PASSING DIRECTLY UNDER ME VERY CLOSE, 100' MAX. HE HAD APCHED ME FROM MY 8 O'CLOCK POSITION AND DEPARTED FROM MY 2 O'CLOCK POSITION. IMMEDIATELY AFTER OUR NEAR MISS, THE PITTSBURGH CTLR CAME ON FREQ, SOUNDING AGITATED TO ME. HE SAID, 'SMA ACFT X, TFC PASSING UNDER YOU, IT MAY BE AN MLT.' I RESPONDED THAT IT WAS AN MLT, AND HE HAD 'JUST MISSED ME'. I CONTINUED MY APCH, CALLED THE FIELD UPON VISUAL CONTACT, CANCELLED MY FLT PLAN AND LANDED. NO FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE BETWEEN THE CTLR AND ME. AT NO TIME WAS I IN CONTACT WITH THE MLT, NOR DID I RECALL ANY RADIO COMS BETWEEN ATC AND THE MLT. OBVIOUSLY ATC KNEW OF HIM, BECAUSE HE IDENTIFIED HIM BEFORE I HAD REPORTED THE INCIDENT ON THE RADIO. WHILE I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SEEING AND AVOIDING OTHER TFC, I FEEL THAT BOTH THE CTLR, WHO HAD US BOTH IN RADAR CONTACT, AND THE MIL PLT, WHO HAD ME AT HIS 12 O'CLOCK POSITION, COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB OF ANTICIPATING THIS INCIDENT. BY THE TIME I SAW THE MLT, HE WAS UNDER ME. HAD WE BEEN AT THE SAME ALT, I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN WHAT HIT ME.
