Narrative:

I was circling a friend's house for him so he could take aerial photographs of it. I believed I was out of eagle's class D airspace. When I returned for landing at eagle airport, the ATC controller asked me if I had just had a near miss with a lear jet. My response was no. I never saw any traffic and the controller then asked what altitude I was previously at. '10300 ft,' I said. He went back and forth with the pilot of the lear jet and then nothing more was said to me. In the future, I will inform ATC even outside the airspace of my intentions to maneuver in close vicinity to their airspace.

Narrative: I WAS CIRCLING A FRIEND'S HOUSE FOR HIM SO HE COULD TAKE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF IT. I BELIEVED I WAS OUT OF EAGLE'S CLASS D AIRSPACE. WHEN I RETURNED FOR LNDG AT EAGLE ARPT, THE ATC CTLR ASKED ME IF I HAD JUST HAD A NEAR MISS WITH A LEAR JET. MY RESPONSE WAS NO. I NEVER SAW ANY TFC AND THE CTLR THEN ASKED WHAT ALT I WAS PREVIOUSLY AT. '10300 FT,' I SAID. HE WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH THE PLT OF THE LEAR JET AND THEN NOTHING MORE WAS SAID TO ME. IN THE FUTURE, I WILL INFORM ATC EVEN OUTSIDE THE AIRSPACE OF MY INTENTIONS TO MANEUVER IN CLOSE VICINITY TO THEIR AIRSPACE.
