"We have heard from two sources in Long Beach government that the councilwoman and mayoral candidate asked the U.S. Marine Corps for a formal apology for disturbing her current and possibly future constituents,but no one's come out on the record".


I hope this doesn't become a common theme.

She is probably one of those "everyone is a winner" people

She should move up to Coupeville, WA and hang out with the whiners there, they have it down to a profession.

For the record, I'd love to attach that picture to all the noise complaint email responses I have to send.
The moments of happy satisfaction would soon be outweighed by the ass-pain when the sent my response to the city, the paper, the Region, etc.

Just another pol opportunist... conjure up a "cause", find a politically friendly reporter/paper, and get free advertising.

1. The nearest Hornet bases to LGB, are NKX ~100nm & NLC ~120nm. LGB exposure to Hornet 'music' would be minimal at best.

2. If she wants to hear a Hornet concerto, can absorb a full day/evening in La Jolla, right under the NKX departure corridor

Take a look at her rebuttal comment at the end. She says she was misquoted and misrepresented:

When I was an IP out at VMFAT-101 (home base, KNKX), as of late 2012, Long Beach (KLGB) was a preferred destination for weekend cross countries. Mostly because we were all banned the year prior from Palm Springs for...you guessed it...being too loud.

Interestingly, every Saturday when we took off, the runways were lined with photographers waiting to catch snap shots of us taking off and landing.

I currently work at KLGB and photographers are still there every weekend. With Boeing's presence on the field I would imagine it would be a difficult fight to ban military aircraft.
