Narrative:
Flying film crew for special event. Maintained 400-600 ft over race vehicles. Predominant flight path over beach or open dunes area. Maintained 40-60 KIAS at request of cameraman. Someone attempted to contact me over acv CTAF frequency 123.65 MHZ. I answered, but they did not respond further. I insured that I was always over or in position for a safe landing in event of emergency. At no time were persons on ground in danger.
