Narrative:

On the morning of aug/xy/89, I received a call from the FAA saying that I was being investigated for doing aerobatics in the traffic pattern at XX30 pm aug/xx/89 at pine bluff, ar. At this time I was attending my 15 year class reunion and was no where near an airport. There are several pilots who fly my airplane and upon questioning, all denied involvement in the event. The FAA said that responsibility would be on my shoulders if no one came forward to admit to the actions.
