Talk:Long Beach Airport

Runway Change
Not sure when this article will need to be updated, but the airport is in the process of changing runways 7/25 to 8/26, due to the changes in Earth's magnetic field. They're supposedly repainting the numbers now. :)

I have two problems with the description on this page.

1) "Environmentalists do not want the airport to expand, and environmentalists happen to have a very strong political voice in Southern California."

First of all, this is both a POV statement, as well as being incorrect. The biggest reason for the lawsuit(s?) the airport lost that halted airport expansion is that the landings and especially the takeoffs for the airport go over some well-off communities with very active homeowner associations.

2) "FedEx and UPS maintain extensive operations out of LGB."

Calling two flights a day for each company I doubt qualifies as "extensive".

I'll probably wait a few days to see if I get any comments before I do any changes to this webpage. gK 19:35, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * 10 months later and the article still says "extensive" which I agree it isn't, so I removed the word. Also added ABX Air while I was at it. Hawaiian717 05:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Image
I took the photo of the airport. Thanks to whoever found it and put it up. I have a much larger version of that photo. What should I do to get it to this page? Ms ArtGeek 04:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)Ms_ArtGeek


 * You can either upload the larger image as a new image using the "Upload file" link, or you can go to the Image:Long Beach Airport.jpg page and replace that photo with the larger version by clicking on the Upload a new version of this file link. If you do the first method, you will have to edit the Long Beach Municipal Airport article and change to the new file name. If you use the second method, you won't have to do anything else.

I tried uploading the image to replace the old one, and it did something weird, came out jaggy and was a humongous blot on the main article page. I reverted and uploaded without replacing the new one. But it would be great if someone clicked on the small one in the article that it went to the large sized one I just put up now. If there's another (smaller) size that's more helpful I can upload another size. Ms ArtGeek 06:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC)Ms_ArtGeek

History
Can someone give a history of American Airlines at Long Beach Airport (lawsuit vs Jet Blue) and why they stopped flying there? Jlaforteza 06:21, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I am an employee of Long Beach Airport and (over time) would like to contribute to the history section as well as potentially dedicate a space to women in aviation. LindseyPhillips (talk) 19:20, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Photo
There are no good photos showing the building as an example of Streamline Moderne architecture. —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 06:28, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Personal Essay Banner
After reading this page multiple times, I don't find any evidence that it is written like a personal essay. I will remove this banner in 2 weeks unless anyone objects or provides evidence that it is written like a personal essay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xgunther (talk • contribs) 00:43, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Section on crash
There is a new section on a recent crash at the airport. While it was tragic and has sources, I don't believe it should be in the article per WP:NOTNEWS. I thought I would discuss it here first. Thoughts? Alanraywiki (talk) 22:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Most airports include an incidents/accidents section. It is a note worthy accident, and should be left there. T ofutwitch11  (T ALK ) 01:20, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Also note WikiProject Airports/page content, which indicates that fatal accidents can be included. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 04:24, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
