Narrative:

This occurrence happened just after takeoff from pfn. We were cleared for takeoff on runway 14 with a left turn to a heading of 060 degree and maintain 2000'. After takeoff, pfn tower told us to contact departure (tyndall). Climbing left turn through 1500' for 2000', a single engine aircraft was at our 12:30 to 1 O'clock position. I turned additional 30 degrees to the left. The small aircraft looked as if he was in a turn also. As soon as we contacted departure, they told us about the aircraft. It looked as if it was about 200' to 300' from us. I called pfn tower and asked if they knew about the traffic and they said they did, but did not know it was that close in (about 3 mi from airport). Tower also said that it did not have a transponder and that they didn't know his altitude and exact position.

Title: LTT HAD NMAC WITH SMA SHORTLY AFTER TKOF IN ATA.

Narrative: THIS OCCURRENCE HAPPENED JUST AFTER TKOF FROM PFN. WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF ON RWY 14 WITH A L TURN TO A HDG OF 060 DEG AND MAINTAIN 2000'. AFTER TKOF, PFN TWR TOLD US TO CONTACT DEP (TYNDALL). CLBING L TURN THROUGH 1500' FOR 2000', A SINGLE ENG ACFT WAS AT OUR 12:30 TO 1 O'CLOCK POS. I TURNED ADDITIONAL 30 DEGS TO THE L. THE SMA LOOKED AS IF HE WAS IN A TURN ALSO. AS SOON AS WE CONTACTED DEP, THEY TOLD US ABOUT THE ACFT. IT LOOKED AS IF IT WAS ABOUT 200' TO 300' FROM US. I CALLED PFN TWR AND ASKED IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THE TFC AND THEY SAID THEY DID, BUT DID NOT KNOW IT WAS THAT CLOSE IN (ABOUT 3 MI FROM ARPT). TWR ALSO SAID THAT IT DID NOT HAVE A TRANSPONDER AND THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW HIS ALT AND EXACT POS.
