Narrative:

After completion of a banner tow contract, and release of the banner, I made several low passes over the airport. In the process, I also buzzed my ground crew and did a very steep wing-over maneuver over the airport at approximately 500' AGL. My actions caused no interference with any other airport activity. To prevent a recurrence of this situation, a simple regard for proper traffic pattern procedures would ge all that is necessary.
