Narrative:
I was flying just passing 400' AGL, called for 'flaps up, set climb power.' the captain yelped something, took control, pushed the nose over, and at the same time pulled the power all the way to flight idle. Other aircraft was an small aircraft with student at the controls, who later said he 'didn't know how close' he was to the airport. It was close--we went right under him. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: could not recall which runway departed from. Tower was in operation and had contact with the small aircraft. Visibility somewhat obscured and the small aircraft thought he was further from the airport. Small aircraft pilot was solo on his first cross country flight. No action was taken by the tower and the incident is closed.
