Narrative:

I was ferrying a C152 from fty to ryy for routine maintenance. I departed fty on runway 32, flew runway heading and climbed to 2700 ft MSL (approximately 1900 ft AGL) for the short 17 mi flight. I flew approximately 7 mi on a heading of 320 degrees to a landmark (tank farm) and then flew approximately 340 degrees toward an airmarked tower I was familiar with. From a point ssw of ryy, when I could see the field, I flew direct to enter a left downwind to runway 27. I listened to the ryy AWOS-3 and then contacted tower approximately 5 mi ssw. I was aware of the dobbins AFB (mge) the entire flight and selected my course to avoid their controled airspace. Upon landing at ryy, ground control asked me to call dobbins tower. I did, and was informed that a military king air at some point on a long left downwind to runway 29 reported a near miss with the C152 I was flying. I never saw the king air and felt my route of flight was clear of mge. I had made this flight many times and generally flew the route I flew today. I flew south and west of the mge airspace, contacted the ryy AWOS-3 as soon as fty tower gave me a frequency change. Shortly after receiving the AWOS-3, I contacted ryy tower. If the king air was flying a standard left downwind to runway 29, our paths most likely crossed when I was approximately 5 mi ssw of ryy and descending from 2700 ft to 2000 ft MSL.

Title: C152 HAD LTSS FROM A U21A UNDER MIL CTL AT MGE.

Narrative: I WAS FERRYING A C152 FROM FTY TO RYY FOR ROUTINE MAINT. I DEPARTED FTY ON RWY 32, FLEW RWY HDG AND CLBED TO 2700 FT MSL (APPROX 1900 FT AGL) FOR THE SHORT 17 MI FLT. I FLEW APPROX 7 MI ON A HDG OF 320 DEGS TO A LANDMARK (TANK FARM) AND THEN FLEW APPROX 340 DEGS TOWARD AN AIRMARKED TWR I WAS FAMILIAR WITH. FROM A POINT SSW OF RYY, WHEN I COULD SEE THE FIELD, I FLEW DIRECT TO ENTER A L DOWNWIND TO RWY 27. I LISTENED TO THE RYY AWOS-3 AND THEN CONTACTED TWR APPROX 5 MI SSW. I WAS AWARE OF THE DOBBINS AFB (MGE) THE ENTIRE FLT AND SELECTED MY COURSE TO AVOID THEIR CTLED AIRSPACE. UPON LNDG AT RYY, GND CTL ASKED ME TO CALL DOBBINS TWR. I DID, AND WAS INFORMED THAT A MIL KING AIR AT SOME POINT ON A LONG L DOWNWIND TO RWY 29 RPTED A NEAR MISS WITH THE C152 I WAS FLYING. I NEVER SAW THE KING AIR AND FELT MY RTE OF FLT WAS CLR OF MGE. I HAD MADE THIS FLT MANY TIMES AND GENERALLY FLEW THE RTE I FLEW TODAY. I FLEW S AND W OF THE MGE AIRSPACE, CONTACTED THE RYY AWOS-3 AS SOON AS FTY TWR GAVE ME A FREQ CHANGE. SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING THE AWOS-3, I CONTACTED RYY TWR. IF THE KING AIR WAS FLYING A STANDARD L DOWNWIND TO RWY 29, OUR PATHS MOST LIKELY CROSSED WHEN I WAS APPROX 5 MI SSW OF RYY AND DSNDING FROM 2700 FT TO 2000 FT MSL.
