Narrative:

I was giving mr X some instruction in siai marchetti in preparation of his purchase of the aircraft. Since mr X is planning to take the aircraft to mt and ak; I felt it was prudent to give him some short field grass instruction. We were approaching the airport and made the appropriate announcements that we were going to do some takeoffs and lndgs on runway 16. We observed no one at the airport and no cars in the parking lot. We saw no reason why we should not be able to use the grass runway. We proceeded to make an uneventful landing. As we were taxiing back for takeoff; I observed the airport manager; mr Y; driving down the turnpike toward the airport. When we turned around and got into position for takeoff; I saw mr Y had parked his truck on the airport ramp. As we were climbing out; I saw mr Y standing beside his truck taking a picture of us. We continued to depart and intended to come around for another landing. When we came around on the downwind; mr Y contacted us on the unicom questioning the certification status of the airplane. Mr X was taken aback by the questioning and said he didn't know the answer. Then mr Y demanded to know who the flight instructor in the airplane was. We did not answer. We continued the approach and when we were on short final; mr Y deliberately drove his black pickup truck out onto the runway we were about to land on and parked the truck; causing us to make a full-flap go around. We recognized this as a hostile situation and we departed the area. Mr Y intentionally created an extremely hazardous situation to life and property by his reckless actions.
