Narrative:

I was on the 45 degree entry to the traffic pattern at the bullhead city airport when I saw the shadow of a large 4 engine jet on a collision course (90 degrees from my left) with me. I was terrified and was too close to the shadow to make an evasive turn. The airplane then swooshed underneath me. It was a camouflaged mlt with a wing man in loose formation. I am aware of the MTR over the bullhead airport. However, bullhead has become a very popular weekend destination for light aircraft, and this mix of military and light aircraft is going to result in the inevitable. The camouflage works! It's time for a control tower.

Narrative: I WAS ON THE 45 DEG ENTRY TO THE TFC PATTERN AT THE BULLHEAD CITY ARPT WHEN I SAW THE SHADOW OF A LARGE 4 ENG JET ON A COLLISION COURSE (90 DEGS FROM MY LEFT) WITH ME. I WAS TERRIFIED AND WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE SHADOW TO MAKE AN EVASIVE TURN. THE AIRPLANE THEN SWOOSHED UNDERNEATH ME. IT WAS A CAMOUFLAGED MLT WITH A WING MAN IN LOOSE FORMATION. I AM AWARE OF THE MTR OVER THE BULLHEAD ARPT. HOWEVER, BULLHEAD HAS BECOME A VERY POPULAR WEEKEND DEST FOR LIGHT ACFT, AND THIS MIX OF MIL AND LIGHT ACFT IS GOING TO RESULT IN THE INEVITABLE. THE CAMOUFLAGE WORKS! IT'S TIME FOR A CTL TWR.
