Narrative:
While flying in an air show with 2 other smts, we were doing a maneuver we call a daisy chain, which consists of a low approach with a pull up, a tear drop turn around and several approachs. Having done this same maneuver in many states many times, I don't understand the problem or the objection. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: reporter not sure what problem was. Heard from an FAA friend of this that the FSDO person who was at the air show 'did not like the maneuvers' his group was flying. There was comment that a violation would be filed. Nothing has happened to date.
