Narrative:
Had completed a swath run to the north, pulled up, rolled right, then entered a left turn. Saw B52 at same altitude, approximately 150 ft AGL coming from west to east. I tightened the turn and dumped the nose of aircraft down to avoid the B52. He would have not been able to avoid me. We always watch for military traffic low 150-300 ft AGL -- some at high speed, estimate +300 KTS. (I see a lot of it below 300 ft AGL.)

Title: AN AGRICULTURAL ACFT HAS AN NMAC WITH A LOW LEVEL B52 ON A VR MIL TRAINING RTE.
Narrative: HAD COMPLETED A SWATH RUN TO THE N, PULLED UP, ROLLED R, THEN ENTERED A L TURN. SAW B52 AT SAME ALT, APPROX 150 FT AGL COMING FROM W TO E. I TIGHTENED THE TURN AND DUMPED THE NOSE OF ACFT DOWN TO AVOID THE B52. HE WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ME. WE ALWAYS WATCH FOR MIL TFC LOW 150-300 FT AGL -- SOME AT HIGH SPD, ESTIMATE +300 KTS. (I SEE A LOT OF IT BELOW 300 FT AGL.)
