Narrative:
Was about 6 mi out from ilg after departing there on course 210 degrees at 2000 ft level flight. Passenger and I both saw aircraft simultaneously passing us from our right quarter (4 O'clock position), passing in front of us at approximately relative speed of 50 mph, as though on a course of 180 degrees. It was a cessna skymaster, older, red and white paint, somewhat shabby. I reacted by pushing nose down briefly. Approximately 5- 10 mins later, the same aircraft passed in front of us in opposite direction but at 500 ft (?) above and approximately 1000 ft ahead (#2). I have checked with ilg tower and summit airpark to identify the aircraft so I can phone the pilot and chastise him -- but neither had record of such aircraft.

PAX AND I BOTH SAW ACFT SIMULTANEOUSLY PASSING US FROM OUR R QUARTER (4 O'CLOCK POS), PASSING IN FRONT OF US AT APPROX RELATIVE SPD OF 50 MPH, AS THOUGH ON A COURSE OF 180 DEGS. IT WAS A CESSNA SKYMASTER, OLDER, RED AND WHITE PAINT, SOMEWHAT SHABBY. I REACTED BY PUSHING NOSE DOWN BRIEFLY. APPROX 5- 10 MINS LATER, THE SAME ACFT PASSED IN FRONT OF US IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION BUT AT 500 FT (?) ABOVE AND APPROX 1000 FT AHEAD (#2). I HAVE CHKED WITH ILG TWR AND SUMMIT AIRPARK TO IDENTIFY THE ACFT SO I CAN PHONE THE PLT AND CHASTISE HIM -- BUT NEITHER HAD RECORD OF SUCH ACFT.
