Narrative:
Shortly after liftoff, approaching the midfield intersection, I observed an fgt at 10 O'clock and approximately 1/4 mi. I initially thought I could pull up and top the fgt, but realized at his high rate of speed that he would probably pull up also. I then dived to go below the fgt and estimated the aircraft passed directly over us approximately 10-15'. The tower controller said the fgt was on approach control frequency and he had no contact with him. The situation could have been helped if traffic had been issued. The second fgt missed us by approximately 100'.

Title: PLT OF SMA AT MIDFIELD AT APPROX 50' AFTER LIFTOFF TOOK EVASIVE ACTION DIVE TO MISS 2 FGT ON LOW PASS OVER ARPT. NO CONTACT WITH TWR.
Narrative: SHORTLY AFTER LIFTOFF, APCHING THE MIDFIELD INTXN, I OBSERVED AN FGT AT 10 O'CLOCK AND APPROX 1/4 MI. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I COULD PULL UP AND TOP THE FGT, BUT REALIZED AT HIS HIGH RATE OF SPD THAT HE WOULD PROBABLY PULL UP ALSO. I THEN DIVED TO GO BELOW THE FGT AND ESTIMATED THE ACFT PASSED DIRECTLY OVER US APPROX 10-15'. THE TWR CTLR SAID THE FGT WAS ON APCH CTL FREQ AND HE HAD NO CONTACT WITH HIM. THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN HELPED IF TFC HAD BEEN ISSUED. THE SECOND FGT MISSED US BY APPROX 100'.
