Narrative:
1) perceived conflict with mass formation due to timing error by warbird coordination. Bomber/mass formation arrived 3 mins early. I had established verbal communication with air boss fighter team. Last maneuver terminated with fly out over top of formation to join my navy fighter division. 2) during fighter fly-bys in waivered box, during waivered time, myself and another fighter performed victory rolls. The FAA FSDO gentleman was unaware that this is standard procedure for appropriately rated and briefed performers. The discussion was amicable and informative and it was agreed that we could continue to perform in like manner.
