    that auto focus and deliberate move of the cell phone to force the camera to re-focus is a bit crappy for modern technology.
    that obvious near miss of a passenger plane should be reported to the aviation authority.
    rediculousely close near miss...

    No such animal as near miss

    Pet bug bear of mine as a Safety Officer

    Its a miss

    At best a near collision

    If you had to report a so called near miss with other cars on the way to work, care to estimate how many forms you would need?

    Near collision would need investigation with both aircraft crews and any control tower instructions and what protocols / regulations cover the region

    There's a difference between a near miss and a near collision. A near miss is when somebody wasn't using enough care and attention to avoid a near collision. A near collision is when they got lucky.

    ?? Didn't seem that close to me. Standard vertical separation for IFR aircraft is 1000 feet altitude (500 feet for VFR). They weren't closer in altitude than 1000 feet.

    Sounds better even though a bit of a mouthful

    As opposed to a far miss.
    The distinction is obvious enough that near miss has meaning.

    As paraphrased as a close call

    Sure. That's another term. But it doesn't mean the term "near miss" doesn't have meaning.


    Kind of like "rolling stop".

    True, a rolling stop is not a stop. But a rolling stop is something; it's a near stop.

    Well... the difference is...

    Your assertion attempts to exclude other assertions, such as mine. My assertion is inclusive of yours.
    So the only way you could be "right" is if you refute mine. Whereas, to be "right", I do not need to refute yours.

    A not-miss is referred to as a Fox-4.

    The way they told me:

    A kill with guns is a Fox-1
    A kill with infrared missiles is a Fox-2
    A kill with radar missiles is a Fox-3
    And if you use your whole plane it's a Fox-4

    Prolly not a lot of self-reported Fox-4s then.
