Narrative:

After being established in the traffic pattern and making several touch-and-goes (left traffic runway 7 at isz) a saratoga reported north of the field. At that time, I was the only aircraft in the pattern and the unicom was unavailable. The pilot called in 8 NM north and requested airport advisory. I told him unicom was not responding and that we were the only one in the pattern and using left traffic for runway 6. He acknowledged and stated he would directly enter on downwind leg. I acknowledged as I turned base to final. After takeoff, I had not heard from the other pilot and queried him as to his location. I told him to let us know and that we'd extend upwind for him if needed. He didn't acknowledge. Since no reply, I continued climbing to pattern altitude before turning to make visual contact with the traffic. No visual was made nor communication received as I turned downwind. As I came abeam the departure end of the runway, something caught my eye to the left. As I looked left and down, I made visual with the saratoga. I was immediately stunned once I learned he was less than 150 ft (straight line distance) from my aircraft. He was much faster than myself and passed me without taking action. There was no need for me to take action since he had passed me. I immediately called 'other aircraft on downwind, you just passed me, what's the deal?' he replied that he had us in sight the whole time, to which I asked why he even did it. We exchanged a few words and I declared I was departing the pattern to return to home base.

Title: NMAC BTWN 2 GA ACFT IN THE TFC PATTERN AT ISZ, OH.

Narrative: AFTER BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE TFC PATTERN AND MAKING SEVERAL TOUCH-AND-GOES (L TFC RWY 7 AT ISZ) A SARATOGA RPTED N OF THE FIELD. AT THAT TIME, I WAS THE ONLY ACFT IN THE PATTERN AND THE UNICOM WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE PLT CALLED IN 8 NM N AND REQUESTED ARPT ADVISORY. I TOLD HIM UNICOM WAS NOT RESPONDING AND THAT WE WERE THE ONLY ONE IN THE PATTERN AND USING L TFC FOR RWY 6. HE ACKNOWLEDGED AND STATED HE WOULD DIRECTLY ENTER ON DOWNWIND LEG. I ACKNOWLEDGED AS I TURNED BASE TO FINAL. AFTER TKOF, I HAD NOT HEARD FROM THE OTHER PLT AND QUERIED HIM AS TO HIS LOCATION. I TOLD HIM TO LET US KNOW AND THAT WE'D EXTEND UPWIND FOR HIM IF NEEDED. HE DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE. SINCE NO REPLY, I CONTINUED CLBING TO PATTERN ALT BEFORE TURNING TO MAKE VISUAL CONTACT WITH THE TFC. NO VISUAL WAS MADE NOR COM RECEIVED AS I TURNED DOWNWIND. AS I CAME ABEAM THE DEP END OF THE RWY, SOMETHING CAUGHT MY EYE TO THE L. AS I LOOKED L AND DOWN, I MADE VISUAL WITH THE SARATOGA. I WAS IMMEDIATELY STUNNED ONCE I LEARNED HE WAS LESS THAN 150 FT (STRAIGHT LINE DISTANCE) FROM MY ACFT. HE WAS MUCH FASTER THAN MYSELF AND PASSED ME WITHOUT TAKING ACTION. THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ME TO TAKE ACTION SINCE HE HAD PASSED ME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 'OTHER ACFT ON DOWNWIND, YOU JUST PASSED ME, WHAT'S THE DEAL?' HE REPLIED THAT HE HAD US IN SIGHT THE WHOLE TIME, TO WHICH I ASKED WHY HE EVEN DID IT. WE EXCHANGED A FEW WORDS AND I DECLARED I WAS DEPARTING THE PATTERN TO RETURN TO HOME BASE.
