Narrative:
This is the sequence of events as best I can remember. I was rolling on runway 11R for takeoff for a VFR flight to willcox. The controller had cleared me for immediate takeoff. I complied, noting that there seemed to be a lot of traffic in the area. After takeoff I climbed to approximately 3000-3200' MSL. The controller requested that I turn to a heading of 030 degrees. I replied and turned the aircraft towards this heading. She then called back and told me to keep west of runway 11L for a departing aircraft. She then told me to turn right to 210 degree. As I started to turn she asked me if I saw the departing large carrier. I replied neg. As I turned to 210 degrees I saw him banking back towards a heading of 090 degrees. That is the best I can remember of the incident throughout the incident I was doing my best to comply with the controller.

Title: CLOSE PROX GA-SMA ACR-MLG TAKING OFF FROM PARALLEL RWYS AT TUS.
Narrative: THIS IS THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS AS BEST I CAN REMEMBER. I WAS ROLLING ON RWY 11R FOR TKOF FOR A VFR FLT TO WILLCOX. THE CTLR HAD CLRED ME FOR IMMEDIATE TKOF. I COMPLIED, NOTING THAT THERE SEEMED TO BE A LOT OF TFC IN THE AREA. AFTER TKOF I CLBED TO APPROX 3000-3200' MSL. THE CTLR REQUESTED THAT I TURN TO A HDG OF 030 DEGS. I REPLIED AND TURNED THE ACFT TOWARDS THIS HDG. SHE THEN CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME TO KEEP W OF RWY 11L FOR A DEPARTING ACFT. SHE THEN TOLD ME TO TURN R TO 210 DEG. AS I STARTED TO TURN SHE ASKED ME IF I SAW THE DEPARTING LARGE CARRIER. I REPLIED NEG. AS I TURNED TO 210 DEGS I SAW HIM BANKING BACK TOWARDS A HDG OF 090 DEGS. THAT IS THE BEST I CAN REMEMBER OF THE INCIDENT THROUGHOUT THE INCIDENT I WAS DOING MY BEST TO COMPLY WITH THE CTLR.
