Narrative:
We were flying with a coupled GPS and a 195 to ensure that we came close but did not cross the restr barrier. However, this was not the case and at some time (my VFR check) I noticed we were into a military restr area. I immediately took action necessary to get out of the restr area as quickly as possible. Some time later, we were approached within 50 ft by an unidented plane and asked to land. We did. This approach was made outside of any restr airspace and contact was made approximately 2 mi from tonopah airport.
