Narrative:

Myself and a friend each took off from woodring field (wdg) on jan/sat/95 at XA00 pm local. WX conditions were cavu. We flew in formation over to hurst airport (OK37) and did several low approachs. The approachs were in the normal pattern of the airport. One of the approachs was done in formation, while the others were separate. Upon returning to wdg we were advised to contact the tower upon landing. Upon doing so, we discovered that a woman who lives .5 mi south of OK37 had called the tower and complained of the noise. Apparently she raises emu's and the noise upset her and the birds. She threatened to call the FAA and sue us for damages.
