Long Beach Airport (LGB) has been advised that four FA-18 military jets  will arrive at LGB on Friday, December 4, 2009 in the late afternoon.  Anticipated departure is Saturday, December 5, 2009.

Please note, FA-18s will be louder than typical aircraft on arrival and departure.  Also, while these military aircraft usually fly in formation, adequate separation and safety measures are deployed.
