Narrative:

I was on a local training flight from ftw-50F. My instructor pointed out my window when I saw the military trainer. I know the aircraft T37, I've seen them around before. He was traveling at a high rate of speed in the opposite direction. He appeared to make a right bank dive in order to miss me. I had no time or need to react. He came out of nowhere as if to use me for a war game. It was very unnerving.
