Four F/A-18 aircraft will conduct operations at Long Beach Airport from Tuesday, June 14 through Wednesday, June 15. We anticipate that the aircraft will arrive in the afternoon on Tuesday, and depart in the early morning on Wednesday. All times are tentative and subject to change without notice.
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.
