Narrative:

After business flight to north bend, or, company general manager and I proceeded to conduct training during return flight to crescent city, ca. After several touch and goes in bend, we proceeded to bandon, or, for 'short field' landing practice. We departed bandon and began a climb due west to get to an altitude of 15500 ft MSL for some altitude training. During the climb west, I mentioned a caution of the ADIZ at a distance I estimated to be 8-10 mi off shore. At this time, we turned to the southeast and continued our climb to 15500. The flight was uneventful, we made an ILS approach to crescent city and terminated. I was preparing for another flight when our FSS personnel advised me to call the FAA liaison at mcchord AFB, wa, with the call, he advised me that the air force had 'scrambled' 2 fgt's on us because of an ADIZ unauthorized penetration. I explained the circumstances, he agreed that it was inadvertent and said no further action would result. During this flight, I felt that we had remained within 10 NM of the shoreline. I however, was using only visual references. We would have normally been flight following with seattle center, but because we were discussing aircraft maneuvers and performance, as well as the fact that the WX was so clear, we elected to limit conversation to within the cockpit. In the future, if we need to maneuver for altitude or for any other reason, it will be toward land or with coordination and advisories from ARTCC. If we violated the ADIZ, it was not intended and certainly will not be repeated.

Title: AN SMT INADVERTENTLY PENETRATED THE ADIZ NEAR BANDON, OR. 2 USAF FGTS WERE SCRAMBLED.

Narrative: AFTER BUSINESS FLT TO N BEND, OR, COMPANY GENERAL MGR AND I PROCEEDED TO CONDUCT TRAINING DURING RETURN FLT TO CRESCENT CITY, CA. AFTER SEVERAL TOUCH AND GOES IN BEND, WE PROCEEDED TO BANDON, OR, FOR 'SHORT FIELD' LNDG PRACTICE. WE DEPARTED BANDON AND BEGAN A CLB DUE W TO GET TO AN ALT OF 15500 FT MSL FOR SOME ALT TRAINING. DURING THE CLB W, I MENTIONED A CAUTION OF THE ADIZ AT A DISTANCE I ESTIMATED TO BE 8-10 MI OFF SHORE. AT THIS TIME, WE TURNED TO THE SE AND CONTINUED OUR CLB TO 15500. THE FLT WAS UNEVENTFUL, WE MADE AN ILS APCH TO CRESCENT CITY AND TERMINATED. I WAS PREPARING FOR ANOTHER FLT WHEN OUR FSS PERSONNEL ADVISED ME TO CALL THE FAA LIAISON AT MCCHORD AFB, WA, WITH THE CALL, HE ADVISED ME THAT THE AIR FORCE HAD 'SCRAMBLED' 2 FGT'S ON US BECAUSE OF AN ADIZ UNAUTHORIZED PENETRATION. I EXPLAINED THE CIRCUMSTANCES, HE AGREED THAT IT WAS INADVERTENT AND SAID NO FURTHER ACTION WOULD RESULT. DURING THIS FLT, I FELT THAT WE HAD REMAINED WITHIN 10 NM OF THE SHORELINE. I HOWEVER, WAS USING ONLY VISUAL REFS. WE WOULD HAVE NORMALLY BEEN FLT FOLLOWING WITH SEATTLE CTR, BUT BECAUSE WE WERE DISCUSSING ACFT MANEUVERS AND PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THE WX WAS SO CLR, WE ELECTED TO LIMIT CONVERSATION TO WITHIN THE COCKPIT. IN THE FUTURE, IF WE NEED TO MANEUVER FOR ALT OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON, IT WILL BE TOWARD LAND OR WITH COORD AND ADVISORIES FROM ARTCC. IF WE VIOLATED THE ADIZ, IT WAS NOT INTENDED AND CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE REPEATED.
