RPTR WAS ACCUSED OF LOW FLYING IN ERROR BY AN FAA PERSON.

Narrative

MR. X WAS HIRED TO SHOOT PHOTOS OF THE GAME AND HE HIRED ME TO FLY HIS PLANE; A CESSNA C-210 CENTURION; WHILE HE TOOK THE PHOTOS. BEFORE MR. X LEFT HIS HOUSE; HE CALLED THE BOS CTLRS AND COORDINATED WITH THEM ABOUT THE UPCOMING PHOTO SHOOT. WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO MAINTAIN 1300 FT MSL AND MAKE L-HAND CIRCLES OVER THE STADIUM. THIS WAS FINE FOR US BECAUSE MR. Y TAKES PICTURES ONLY OUT HIS L WINDOW BECAUSE ONLY THE L WINDOW OPENS IN HIS 1968 C-210. BEFORE WE TOOK OFF; MR. Y BRIEFED ME ON WHAT EXACTLY TO DO; AND ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WILL BE HELI TFC AT 800 FT. WE PERFORMED THE PHOTO FLT EXACTLY AS SPECIFIED. WE MAINTAINED CONTACT WITH APCH AND COMPANY. I MAINTAINED 1300 FT MSL THE ENTIRE TIME OVER THE STADIUM AND MAINTAINED SEPARATION FROM THE BANNER TOW AIRPLANES. I EVEN KNEW THE BANNER PLTS; ONE OF THEM WAS NAMED MR. YY; FLYING IN A C-172 XP; THE OTHER WAS MR. Z; FLYING A PIPER PAWNEE; WHO ARRIVED AS WE WERE LEAVING THE HARVARD STADIUM. (WE LEFT THE GAME AND WENT TO HARVARD; THEN RETURNED TO EWB; WHERE THE PLANE IS TIED DOWN.) I KNEW THE BANNER PEOPLE BECAUSE I PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR THEM. HERE'S THE PROB. AN FAA PERSON SAID HE WAS AT THE GAME AND SAYS HE SAW US FLYING R-HAND CIRCLES AT A VERY LOW ALT. HE ALSO SAYS THAT A POLICE OFFICER WITH HIM SAW US ALSO. AT NO TIME DID I FLY LOWER THAN 1300 FT OVER THE GAME OR FLY R-HAND CIRCLES. AT THE HARVARD GAME WE WENT DOWN TO 1000 FT FOR 1 ORBIT; BUT WE HAD ASKED PRIOR PERMISSION FROM COMPANY TO DO SO. (WE ALSO FLEW L CIRCLES AROUND HARVARD.) THE PEOPLE WHO HIRED US WERE ALSO AT THE GAME. THEY SAW AND RECOGNIZED US FLYING AT 1300 FT MAKING L CIRCLES WITH THE BANNER TOWS. AFTER WE LEFT; THEY TOLD US THEY SAW A BLUE AND WHITE (SAME COLOR AS OURS) CESSNA 172 FLYING VERY LOW AND ALMOST HIT THE HELI. WE HAVE ORDERED THE TRANSCRIPTS FROM ATC TO PROVE OUR INNOCENCE AND I AM SURE THE XPONDER CODES WILL INDICATE WE WERE FLYING EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. AN AOPA LEGAL PERSON TOLD ME TO FILL THIS OUT EVEN THOUGH I BROKE NO RULES BECAUSE HE WAS WITH AN FAA PERSON WHO CLAIMS HE SAW US.
