Narrative:
On final approach I called 4 mile final for runway xx. Less than a minute later; the second aircraft called a 7 mile final for the same runway. I continued my approach until he called a 2.5 mile final. I responded stating that I was also 2 miles out and asked where he was; during which he appeared less than 50 feet directly above me. I decided to execute an avoidance maneuver and advised that the runway was his to take. I added power and accomplished a standard rate 360 degree turn to the left for separation and wake avoidance. Both aircraft accomplished an uneventful landing. The learjet never saw me and was not aware of any other traffic! If I had been a minute further on my approach; we would have collided!
