Alex,

I would suggest considering covering the exterior of the windows with foam
with closed shutters (if you have them), or with plywood if you don't have
shutters. You pretty much want to use hurricane protection steps in order
to absorb and negate the vibration from the planes. You also want to secure
any valuable objects that may vibrate off tables and shelves during the
airshow as well.

You can try calling the airshow promoters and complaining about what has
already happened but they probably won't change the flight path just for
you.


Cheers!
Dave
