Narrative:
On IFR flight at 4;000 ft.; approximately 10 nm. West of fin (within A-293); we narrowly missed colliding with aircraft Y. ATC and flight crew had been monitoring the aircraft for a few min at our altitude as it drifted to close proximity several times. Then aircraft Y turned head-on so we diverted right to avoid; when suddenly they turned again into our path. Instructor pilot took controls and dived left as aircraft Y continued turning into our original flight path (near miss at approximately 500 ft. Apart laterally). Once separated we continued per our flight plan with no further disruption.
