Narrative:
On takeoff and shortly thereafter, we noticed a small cessna off our left side moving toward us off our left side moving toward us left to right. Tower advised us of an aircraft on our right, but not this one on the left. It was only after liftoff we noticed the aircraft on the left. He was apparently VFR and approaching another small airport near eglin AFB. We kept our vertical speed in excess of 2000 FPM to fly over him at 700 ft.
