Narrative:

Company checked WX and briefed me prior to flight. Advised there was a notice of parachute jumping in effect over the stadium for halftime (approximately XC30). I planned to depart the area prior to that time. I took off from MA07 at XA30 and flew to the stadium. At approximately XA50, 2 F15's flew over MA07 on a southerly heading, made a left turn and flew over the stadium on a northerly heading at 1250 ft MSL, passing me at about 1000 ft horizontal. I was flying south on the west side of the stadium, between the stadium and MA07, at 1250 ft MSL. I had seen the F15's coming and knew they would pass close, but clear. They did not alter course, and probably didn't see me. If they had planned their flight and were authority/authorized to conduct high speed low level activity, it seems there should have been adequate warning disseminated to local airports, etc. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter and his company believe that the area was not made 'sterile' for the F15 fly-by and that it should have been. The FAA stated to the reporter that it had been declared 'sterile.' the reporter has received a letter of investigation from the local FSDO.

Title: A BANNER TOW PLT FOUND THAT HE WAS IN THE SAME AIRSPACE WITH 2 F15'S OVER A STADIUM. THE RPTR CLAIMS THAT THE AREA HAD NOT BEEN MADE 'STERILE' FOR THE F15 FLY-BY.

Narrative: COMPANY CHKED WX AND BRIEFED ME PRIOR TO FLT. ADVISED THERE WAS A NOTICE OF PARACHUTE JUMPING IN EFFECT OVER THE STADIUM FOR HALFTIME (APPROX XC30). I PLANNED TO DEPART THE AREA PRIOR TO THAT TIME. I TOOK OFF FROM MA07 AT XA30 AND FLEW TO THE STADIUM. AT APPROX XA50, 2 F15'S FLEW OVER MA07 ON A SOUTHERLY HDG, MADE A L TURN AND FLEW OVER THE STADIUM ON A NORTHERLY HDG AT 1250 FT MSL, PASSING ME AT ABOUT 1000 FT HORIZ. I WAS FLYING S ON THE W SIDE OF THE STADIUM, BTWN THE STADIUM AND MA07, AT 1250 FT MSL. I HAD SEEN THE F15'S COMING AND KNEW THEY WOULD PASS CLOSE, BUT CLR. THEY DID NOT ALTER COURSE, AND PROBABLY DIDN'T SEE ME. IF THEY HAD PLANNED THEIR FLT AND WERE AUTH TO CONDUCT HIGH SPD LOW LEVEL ACTIVITY, IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADEQUATE WARNING DISSEMINATED TO LCL ARPTS, ETC. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR AND HIS COMPANY BELIEVE THAT THE AREA WAS NOT MADE 'STERILE' FOR THE F15 FLY-BY AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
