Narrative:
We departed lwv at XA11Z after fuel stop, climbed to 2000 ft MSL, and proceeded north. Near sullivan I happened to look up and saw the C150 flying level above and in front of us. He suddenly nosed up, then did a 1-TURN spin, recovered, and was last seen heading south at roughly my altitude.
