LONG BEACH (CNS) – Four military jets will be conducting operations at Long Beach Airport this weekend, officials announced Wednesday.
The F/A-18s were scheduled to arrive at the airport Friday and make runs in and out of the facility Saturday, then depart Sunday.
Flight plans were not available because of the nature of the military operations, airport authorities said.
“F/A-18 aircraft are noticeably louder than other aircraft and are easily heard in neighborhoods near LGB,” residents were warned.
The planes are exempt from noise regulations, but “the military has 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 afterburner use,” officials said in a social media post.
