THE PILOT OF THE STARDUSTER TOO, N4316, DEPARTED RWY 25 AT THE UNCONTROLLED airport CLOSELY BEHIND THE CE-170, N2620V. AFTER TAKEOFF, HE PROCEEDED STRAIGHT OUT IN A WESTERLY DIRECTION, AND THEN REAPPEARED ABOUT 1 MIN LATER TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. HE EXECUTED A LOW LEVEL PASS OVER RWY 7 AT ABOUT 30-40 FT AGL AT AN AIRSPEED ESTIMATED BY TO BE GREATER THAN 150 MPH. HE THEN EXECUTED A RAPID PULL UP AT THE EAST END OF THE RUNWAY. ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT THE STARDUSTER PILOT WAS BEGINNING HIS LOW PASS, THE CE-170, WHICH HAD ENTERED A LEFT CLOSED PATTERN AFTER TAKEOFF, WAS BEGINNING A CONTINUOUS 180 DEG LEFT HAND DESCENDING TURN TO THE APPROACH END OF RWY 25. APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SEC AFTER THE CESSNA ROLLED OUT ON FINAL, IT AND THE STARDUSTER, WHICH HAD JUST INITIATED ITS RAPID PULL UP, COLLIDED AT ABOUT 75-100 FT AGL. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF RADIO TRANSMISSIONS FROM EITHER AIRCRAFT ON ANY FREQUENCY. CAUSE: THE FAILURE OF BOTH PILOTS TO SEE AND AVOID EACH OTHER.
