Narrative:

Departed opa locka airport mar/sat/94, in camera equipped lear 25. We informed ATC of our intent to proceed southeast to east 60-90 mi in order to photograph clouds for a motion picture. Departures issued us a transponder code, handed us off to center and did not converse with us until we contacted them inbound. Center told us they were too busy to work us, to maintain VFR and contact ATC inbound. They did not tell us to change transponder codes, so we remained on our assigned code and monitored them on VHF. When finished with our mission, we proceeded inbound. The center frequency was so busy we could not get a word in edgewise. I considered it poor judgement to 'just wait' for traffic to subside, I continued back to opa locka via a route and altitude as to remain clear of the miami departure rtes and class B airspace until duly authorized by ATC. Prior to proceeding within the lateral limits of the class B airspace, I switched from center frequency to approach, then proceeded with the arrival. I was told to 'call miami center' after landing. They said there was a problem with us and the ADIZ. We were on a discrete transponder code within the coverage of miami radar at all times. We did as we were told by ATC. If there was a problem with that, they should have informed us not to follow their instructions.

Title: A LEAR 25 MAY HAVE VIOLATED THE ADIZ NEAR MIA.

Narrative: DEPARTED OPA LOCKA ARPT MAR/SAT/94, IN CAMERA EQUIPPED LEAR 25. WE INFORMED ATC OF OUR INTENT TO PROCEED SE TO E 60-90 MI IN ORDER TO PHOTOGRAPH CLOUDS FOR A MOTION PICTURE. DEPS ISSUED US A XPONDER CODE, HANDED US OFF TO CTR AND DID NOT CONVERSE WITH US UNTIL WE CONTACTED THEM INBOUND. CTR TOLD US THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO WORK US, TO MAINTAIN VFR AND CONTACT ATC INBOUND. THEY DID NOT TELL US TO CHANGE XPONDER CODES, SO WE REMAINED ON OUR ASSIGNED CODE AND MONITORED THEM ON VHF. WHEN FINISHED WITH OUR MISSION, WE PROCEEDED INBOUND. THE CTR FREQ WAS SO BUSY WE COULD NOT GET A WORD IN EDGEWISE. I CONSIDERED IT POOR JUDGEMENT TO 'JUST WAIT' FOR TFC TO SUBSIDE, I CONTINUED BACK TO OPA LOCKA VIA A RTE AND ALT AS TO REMAIN CLR OF THE MIAMI DEP RTES AND CLASS B AIRSPACE UNTIL DULY AUTHORIZED BY ATC. PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITHIN THE LATERAL LIMITS OF THE CLASS B AIRSPACE, I SWITCHED FROM CTR FREQ TO APCH, THEN PROCEEDED WITH THE ARR. I WAS TOLD TO 'CALL MIAMI CTR' AFTER LNDG. THEY SAID THERE WAS A PROB WITH US AND THE ADIZ. WE WERE ON A DISCRETE XPONDER CODE WITHIN THE COVERAGE OF MIAMI RADAR AT ALL TIMES. WE DID AS WE WERE TOLD BY ATC. IF THERE WAS A PROB WITH THAT, THEY SHOULD HAVE INFORMED US NOT TO FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.
