Narrative:
On the morning of the above date I was proceeding on assigned altitude and heading given to me by departure control. I was advised of other traffic at my 10 O'clock position. I advised departure no contact. At approximately 1 min later a king air 200 appeared directly ahead of me. I took immediate evasive action. After passing the aircraft I made the statement to the controller 'boy that was close.' the controller responded by saying sorry about that. Another voice came on and told me to maintain VFR. I advised that I was VFR and had been since takeoff. I fly frequently out of adams field and recognize most of the controllers by voice. This sounded as though they were working with a trainee. My opinion is that someone was not supervising as closely as they should have been.

Narrative: ON THE MORNING OF THE ABOVE DATE I WAS PROCEEDING ON ASSIGNED ALT AND HDG GIVEN TO ME BY DEP CTL. I WAS ADVISED OF OTHER TFC AT MY 10 O'CLOCK POS. I ADVISED DEP NO CONTACT. AT APPROX 1 MIN LATER A KING AIR 200 APPEARED DIRECTLY AHEAD OF ME. I TOOK IMMEDIATE EVASIVE ACTION. AFTER PASSING THE ACFT I MADE THE STATEMENT TO THE CTLR 'BOY THAT WAS CLOSE.' THE CTLR RESPONDED BY SAYING SORRY ABOUT THAT. ANOTHER VOICE CAME ON AND TOLD ME TO MAINTAIN VFR. I ADVISED THAT I WAS VFR AND HAD BEEN SINCE TKOF.
