Narrative:

We were on an assigned heading of 270 degrees climbing through 2000 ft to 3000 ft after takeoff from runway 01 at alb. It was dark, dec/xx/94 XU45 EST. We were on an IFR flight plan talking to alb departure control. A military C-130 was asked if he had us in sight, he was at 3000 ft or 2500 ft. He acknowledged he had us in sight. Approach/departure then okayed him to contact schenectedy tower. I believe the C-130 was VFR. The C-130 descended over us from left rear to right front clearing us by only 200 ft approximately. We were concerned that his wake turbulence would upset us. Fortunately, that was not a problem. I believe the C-130 pilot exhibited a rather cavalier attitude toward visual separation, right-of-way and just plain common sense and good judgement. The controller during the incident (ld) operations inits. I am considering lodging a protest with the FAA. Diagram of incident:

Title: NMAC BTWN A DEPARTING CPR TWIN TURBOPROP AND A DSNDING MIL C-130.

Narrative: WE WERE ON AN ASSIGNED HDG OF 270 DEGS CLBING THROUGH 2000 FT TO 3000 FT AFTER TKOF FROM RWY 01 AT ALB. IT WAS DARK, DEC/XX/94 XU45 EST. WE WERE ON AN IFR FLT PLAN TALKING TO ALB DEP CTL. A MIL C-130 WAS ASKED IF HE HAD US IN SIGHT, HE WAS AT 3000 FT OR 2500 FT. HE ACKNOWLEDGED HE HAD US IN SIGHT. APCH/DEP THEN OKAYED HIM TO CONTACT SCHENECTEDY TWR. I BELIEVE THE C-130 WAS VFR. THE C-130 DSNDED OVER US FROM L REAR TO R FRONT CLRING US BY ONLY 200 FT APPROX. WE WERE CONCERNED THAT HIS WAKE TURB WOULD UPSET US. FORTUNATELY, THAT WAS NOT A PROB. I BELIEVE THE C-130 PLT EXHIBITED A RATHER CAVALIER ATTITUDE TOWARD VISUAL SEPARATION, RIGHT-OF-WAY AND JUST PLAIN COMMON SENSE AND GOOD JUDGEMENT. THE CTLR DURING THE INCIDENT (LD) OPS INITS. I AM CONSIDERING LODGING A PROTEST WITH THE FAA. DIAGRAM OF INCIDENT:
