They do a show in Corpus Christi once or twice each year. Unfortunately, our house is less than 2 miles from the Naval Air Station and we are directly under the flight path of some of the aerial stunts. Two days of practice, then two days of shows, means every window in my house rattles for four straight days. I still love to see them fly, though--but damn, it's loud when you live near the base.
