Narrative:

Departed jyo and was climbing to altitude when drone was sighted traveling approximately on a heading of 150 while we were climbing on a heading of 330. The drone passed us on our right wing about 30 feet horizontally from us. Can't be sure but appeared to be a fixed wing drone vice a quad copter.
