Near miss between fighter and commercial jet

Filmed from the fighter's cockpit. At time 03:30 you see the contrails of the commercial jet appearing at the horizon on the left side. In the end you can clearly see the jet.

well....no

@sebatianize In VMC it is a pilot's responsibility to remain well clear of conflicting traffic. The controller, at most, shares responsibility for deconfliction. It doesn't matter if this pilot was under IFR; if the weather allows him to see other jets, he is responsible for clearing for them and avoiding them.

@jobinblow

well then you could know that on a collision course you have no line of sight. the hud vid never coincides with the FOV of the pilot. is there a canopy bow which could possibly mask the airliner? all the talking between a controller and the pilot could mean that he is flying under IFR. so the whole deconfliction responsibility would be with ATC. it could also be that because of that the pilot might be doing other things than looking outside 24/7.

but thanks for your advice

@sebatianize For your info, I was a fighter pilot (1310) and now I'm a commerical pilot. One of the first thing you're taught is to keep your head outside of the aircraft whenever possible. Educate yourself before you say something retarded, as you never know who you're talking to on here.

@jobinblow

@jobinblow not his fault though this is why they ask for permission when entering diffrent airspace's the 1 who should have a warning was the airbus there must of been a party of alarms in that cockpit i dont know why they didnt move or flashed their light that what i do when they come in my airspace but then again if they dont move ill move chicken shit doesnt exist up there or youll be grounded by the FAA Lose your license and never see it again and thank your co pilot for snitching you out

Terrible SA by the pilot in command of the fighter jet. I saw that plane from the very beginning. This idiot scared himself by not keeping his eyes outside his aircraft. You can clearly see it on the HUD and I managed to count 20 seconds before he finally saw it . What a joke.

funny thing is when your on a head on collision course with another aircraft it is very difficult to spot the aircraft because there is little to no movement catching the eyes attention. The highest danger threat is the toughest one to see.

How can you tell an Italian fighter jet from the ground?? Its the one with hair under the wings!!!
