Narrative:
Somebody said I was flying 50' above ground in congested subdivision. This is absurd. I am a professional pilot with 8000 hours of flight time. These allegations are false and incorrect. I had 2 passenger in aircraft with me that also know this is not true. What I found out from FAA is that the area is a bad location (many complaints). This was my first time in the area since I lived in omaha.
