Narrative:
Had been cleared by tower for touch and go on runway 29L. Was turning base to final when tower came on air and hurriedly asked if I saw the light transport. I looked quickly below me and saw light transport at a low high speed pass below and answered, 'yes, I see the light transport.' neither I nor instrument had heard mention of light transport before this time. Instrument took controls momentarily to slow my descent. Light transport made a low pass or touch and go and lifted off again immediately. Instrument returned my controls and I continued my landing (a touch and go). When I lifted off again tower came on and advised me to extend my upwind to stay clear of light transport which I complied with. Had trouble keeping contact with tower or getting answered due to others keying mics and cutting off transmission. Called later and talked to tower supervisor to find out what had happened. This supervisor was not on at this time and he advised he would check and call me back later. 'Tus' tower is a training facility for controllers.'
