Narrative:

We were descending to 7000 ft on the northeast arrival into mci. Out of about 8000 ft we were given a primary target at 12:30 to 1:30 O'clock position. We both looked and saw nothing at our altitude and position. I was still checking for the traffic out of about 7500 ft when I saw a white or cream colored C172 or C182 at 12 O'clock and we were descending into them. I called the traffic and we made an extreme pull up to miss him. I estimate our clearance at less than 100 ft. We reported the near miss to ZKC and then were changed over to mci approach control. I don't think we would have come near as close if the primary target had had an altitude reporting transponder.

Title: NMAC BTWN AN ACR JET CARGO ACFT AND A C172 JUST OUTSIDE OF CLASS B AIRSPACE AT 7500 FT.

Narrative: WE WERE DSNDING TO 7000 FT ON THE NE ARR INTO MCI. OUT OF ABOUT 8000 FT WE WERE GIVEN A PRIMARY TARGET AT 12:30 TO 1:30 O'CLOCK POS. WE BOTH LOOKED AND SAW NOTHING AT OUR ALT AND POS. I WAS STILL CHKING FOR THE TFC OUT OF ABOUT 7500 FT WHEN I SAW A WHITE OR CREAM COLORED C172 OR C182 AT 12 O'CLOCK AND WE WERE DSNDING INTO THEM. I CALLED THE TFC AND WE MADE AN EXTREME PULL UP TO MISS HIM. I ESTIMATE OUR CLRNC AT LESS THAN 100 FT. WE RPTED THE NEAR MISS TO ZKC AND THEN WERE CHANGED OVER TO MCI APCH CTL. I DON'T THINK WE WOULD HAVE COME NEAR AS CLOSE IF THE PRIMARY TARGET HAD HAD AN ALT RPTING XPONDER.
