F/A-18s at LGB 11/15 - 11/17
Four F/A-18 aircraft are scheduled to operate at Long Beach Airport from November 15 to November 17. They are expected to arrive on Friday afternoon, November 15, and depart on Sunday morning, November 17. Please note that all times are tentative and subject to change.
Military aircraft are exempt from noise regulations. However, the military has consistently demonstrated a desire to assist LGB in being a good neighbor and will follow standard noise abatement arrival and departure procedures, including modified arrival and departure flight profiles and minimum use of afterburners.
F/A-18 aircraft are noticeably louder than other aircraft and are easily heard in neighborhoods near LGB.
Long Beach Airport has three runways. Runway 12-30 is the primary runway and is utilized for commercial air traffic. Runway 8L-26R is the secondary runway and is used for general aviation uses and for commercial air traffic when Runway 12-30 is closed. Runway 8R-26L is the shortest of the runways and is used for general aviation.
