Narrative

COMPANY CHKED WX AND BRIEFED ME PRIOR TO FLT. ADVISED THERE WAS A NOTICE OF PARACHUTE JUMPING IN EFFECT OVER THE STADIUM FOR HALFTIME (APPROX XC30). I PLANNED TO DEPART THE AREA PRIOR TO THAT TIME. I TOOK OFF FROM MA07 AT XA30 AND FLEW TO THE STADIUM. AT APPROX XA50; 2 F15'S FLEW OVER MA07 ON A SOUTHERLY HDG; MADE A L TURN AND FLEW OVER THE STADIUM ON A NORTHERLY HDG AT 1250 FT MSL; PASSING ME AT ABOUT 1000 FT HORIZ. I WAS FLYING S ON THE W SIDE OF THE STADIUM; BTWN THE STADIUM AND MA07; AT 1250 FT MSL. I HAD SEEN THE F15'S COMING AND KNEW THEY WOULD PASS CLOSE; BUT CLR. THEY DID NOT ALTER COURSE; AND PROBABLY DIDN'T SEE ME. IF THEY HAD PLANNED THEIR FLT AND WERE AUTH TO CONDUCT HIGH SPD LOW LEVEL ACTIVITY; IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADEQUATE WARNING DISSEMINATED TO LCL ARPTS; ETC. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR AND HIS COMPANY BELIEVE THAT THE AREA WAS NOT MADE 'STERILE' FOR THE F15 FLY-BY AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE FAA STATED TO THE RPTR THAT IT HAD BEEN DECLARED 'STERILE.' THE RPTR HAS RECEIVED A LETTER OF INVESTIGATION FROM THE LCL FSDO.
