OK... So I already know there was NO COLLISION. And that "close" only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and atomic weapons, but.....
This morning, on my way to work, I witnessed two converging contrails in the eastern sky from my vantage point within the city of San Angelo, TX.
The "vertical" track is headed due west from the rising sun and is most probably regularly scheduled civilian traffic out of San Antonio. The "horizontal" track from left to right is typical military traffic bound for Del Rio, Texas.
I have no idea what the vertical separation of these two aircraft may have been, but from my perspective, I'm envious of the cockpit view that one crew had!
