Narrative:

I believe to prevent a recurrence that the high speed, hard to see military aircraft should be vectored around other traffic. I would guess the last advisory after the conflict was over, was for liability purposes. While en route from dht to ftw at approximately XB00Z about 5 NM southeast of the sps VOR, altitude was 9500 ft or 11500 ft MSL. I was flying a C421B with 4 other passenger on a pleasure flight. Shortly after the start of the flight (about XA40Z), I requested and received flight following from ZAB. I was eventually handed off to sheppard approach control west of wichita falls. As I was southeast of the sps VOR en route to bowie VOR, I received a TA for a flight of two swbound. As I remember, the altitude was for the traffic to be from 6000 ft climbing to 16000 ft. The direction was 10 O'clock position and I saw the traffic was to be very close. I heard the controller issue the traffic (my aircraft) to the military aircraft, but I could not hear the reply as they were on UHF. One of the aircraft altered pitch and turned slightly and this probably prevented a collision. The aircraft passed by my left wing at my altitude and estimated 100 ft for the nearest and less than 200 ft for the other aircraft. I think the aircraft were T38's. After the aircraft went by in the steep climb, the controller called and gave me the traffic again. I informed him the traffic had passed before he called and was less than 100 yards. I did not take evasive action because by the time I determined which way to go the aircraft were by me. I don't understand why sps approach control can't vector their high speed aircraft around existing traffic. I have had another near miss in this area, but not this close.

Title: SPS MILFAC CTLR ISSUED T38 TFC TO C421 PLT. T38 PLT TAKES EVASIVE ACTION. C421 PLT ASKS WHY MIL ACFT WERE NOT VECTORED AWAY FROM HIS ACFT.

Narrative: I BELIEVE TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE THAT THE HIGH SPD, HARD TO SEE MIL ACFT SHOULD BE VECTORED AROUND OTHER TFC. I WOULD GUESS THE LAST ADVISORY AFTER THE CONFLICT WAS OVER, WAS FOR LIABILITY PURPOSES. WHILE ENRTE FROM DHT TO FTW AT APPROX XB00Z ABOUT 5 NM SE OF THE SPS VOR, ALT WAS 9500 FT OR 11500 FT MSL. I WAS FLYING A C421B WITH 4 OTHER PAX ON A PLEASURE FLT. SHORTLY AFTER THE START OF THE FLT (ABOUT XA40Z), I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED FLT FOLLOWING FROM ZAB. I WAS EVENTUALLY HANDED OFF TO SHEPPARD APCH CTL W OF WICHITA FALLS. AS I WAS SE OF THE SPS VOR ENRTE TO BOWIE VOR, I RECEIVED A TA FOR A FLT OF TWO SWBOUND. AS I REMEMBER, THE ALT WAS FOR THE TFC TO BE FROM 6000 FT CLBING TO 16000 FT. THE DIRECTION WAS 10 O'CLOCK POS AND I SAW THE TFC WAS TO BE VERY CLOSE. I HEARD THE CTLR ISSUE THE TFC (MY ACFT) TO THE MIL ACFT, BUT I COULD NOT HEAR THE REPLY AS THEY WERE ON UHF. ONE OF THE ACFT ALTERED PITCH AND TURNED SLIGHTLY AND THIS PROBABLY PREVENTED A COLLISION. THE ACFT PASSED BY MY L WING AT MY ALT AND ESTIMATED 100 FT FOR THE NEAREST AND LESS THAN 200 FT FOR THE OTHER ACFT. I THINK THE ACFT WERE T38'S. AFTER THE ACFT WENT BY IN THE STEEP CLB, THE CTLR CALLED AND GAVE ME THE TFC AGAIN. I INFORMED HIM THE TFC HAD PASSED BEFORE HE CALLED AND WAS LESS THAN 100 YARDS. I DID NOT TAKE EVASIVE ACTION BECAUSE BY THE TIME I DETERMINED WHICH WAY TO GO THE ACFT WERE BY ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SPS APCH CTL CAN'T VECTOR THEIR HIGH SPD ACFT AROUND EXISTING TFC. I HAVE HAD ANOTHER NEAR MISS IN THIS AREA, BUT NOT THIS CLOSE.
