Narrative:
I was the pilot of the fixed wing. I asked a drone operator and spotter to get some beauty shots of the plane. I just found out the operator of the drone is not 107. I also believed [the] airport to be class G but maybe it's class east? There were no other airplanes in the pattern. There were no incidents or close calls. Airport manager complained and we stopped the operation. I (pilot) was in two-way communication with the drone pilot the entire time and we extensively pre-briefed; with the plan to shut down if another plane entered the pattern.
