Flying an OH-58A chopper along the SC coast, I often saw A-10s from now closed Myrtle Beach AFB at the same altitude or lower than me.

IP had told me that if I ever thought I was on a collision course, to turn toward them & aim for their tail assembly. Said this would guarantee the fast mover would overshoot me & miss. Never had to use the maneuver.

Strange this F-16/Cessna mixup wasn’t seen by ATC. Assume they both had transponders.
