Narrative:
The military allows its aircraft to perform aerobatics anywhere in alert area 292. This T34 was conducting aerobatics 5 mi off the departure end of runway 17 at pensacola regional. Jets must depart runway heading to comply with noise abatement. I do not feel it is safe to continue to allow the T34 students to conduct 'airshow-type' maneuvers in air carrier arrival departure corridors. The problem could be solved if the military would confine these activities to north of the brenton, al, area.
