>> You mean they do some sort aerobatics over your house?
I don't know about Cambridge but Northampton (Sywell) aerodrome has a resident display team - The Blades. Sywell is the other side of town. Whenever I've gone there to watch planes it's about 10 miles but much less for a crow.
The Blades practice over here now and then. Not often enough to be an irritation, the non plane buffs quite enjoy it too. Damn frustrating when I'm on a work call and I can hear them but not see them.
If, as those guys are, the Cambridge flyer is a professional display pilot then practicing is work and, however good a simulator might be, not something you can do at home.
Whether he could practice elsewhere is another issue but some airspace in that area is, in normal circumstances, heavily used for Stansted's operations. Displays by the Reds at Duxford, if they're doing a full routine, have to be co-ordinated with the airport's ATC and probably London Control too.
