So a couple weeks back in Loveland I seen about five prop planes doing aerobatic maneuvers and sometimes using the smoke system. Then a couple days ago they were over head again doing maneuvers with the smoke system.
Since I subscribe to Northern Colorado Regional on Facebook I asked them if they knew what this was all about. This is their response:
I don't think they are violating any FAA rules. By my estimate they are at least 2 to 3 thousand feet AGL.
So my question is. Does anybody know who or what these pilots are? Have you seen these planes in your town?

The Airport has thoroughly researched this for over the last month. We have received frequent reports from concerned citizens about these pilots. What we do know is that they are not operating out of this Airport and unfortunately we do not have any information on who these pilots are or which airport they are operating out of.
FAA regulations stipulate aircraft are required to operate at least 1,000 feet above congested areas except during take off or landing. However, over sparsely populated areas the requirement is a minimum of 500 ft. To report pilots in violation you will need the aircraft's N number a picture or video can help bolster your case and call the FAA at 303-342-1100 or use their online form at https://www.faa.gov/contact/
