On flight to OCF at 3;000 FT Talking with pilot/owner in left seat.  He said 'Traffic.'  I looked out my window and above the right wing were two white RV-4s; -8s; or Cirrus aircraft in close formation crossing over us from right to left.  They were probably 100-200 FT away when we saw them.  From now on; I'll insist that we always get flight following.  Obviously; neither we nor the traffic were talking and squawking.  No evasive action was taken since it was too late and we could immediately tell that we would miss them (but was very close).  Now thinking about it; we might not have taken evasive action because we were stunned at how close they were to us.
