Festival of Flight Breaks Records for Airport's 95th Anniversary
Long Beach
Airport’s 95th anniversary took off at this year’s Festival of
Flight. Crowds of over 15,000 flocked to the event, marking the biggest turnout
in the festival’s six-year history.
The
morning commenced with a performance of the national anthem by Cal State Long
Beach student, Harlee Balajadia, followed by an incredible flyover from the
Tiger Squadron. Throughout the day, guests were treated to a variety of
aircraft on display, most notably a C-17 from March Air Force Base. Tours of the
C-17’s flight deck were in high demand. Guests also had the opportunity to walk
through the fuselage of the plane and take pictures in the seats lining the
wall. Other notable aircraft included a firefighting U.S. Coast Guard plane, also
in high demand, and a Gulfstream G650 jet. 
The
entertainment continued with smooth tunes from the Long Beach City College’s
Jazz Combo, an electrifying 1940s tap and dance performance from the Satin
Dollz, and an upbeat ’80s tribute from Knyght Ryder closing out the day. Food
options were plentiful, with The Fat Queso serving up tasty quesadillas, Rice
Balls of Fire offering their signature rice balls, and Tikiz Shaved Ice providing
relief from the heat.
A variety
of organizations also attended the event, including SafeLaunch Healthy Futures,
a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect youth from drug and
alcohol addiction. Kids had the opportunity to paint the organization’s
airplane with vibrant pictures of their choosing. Another prominent
organization was NASA’s Unmanned Aircraft System Research team. Their goal is
to normalize unmanned aircraft flying across the United States. The
organization’s king air (C12) research aircraft piqued a lot of interest among
plane enthusiasts and patrons alike.
Long Beach
Airport thanks all of the organizations and guests who attended this year’s
Festival of Flight. Their participation was crucial to the success and record
turnout of this year’s event. LGB looks forward to seeing both old and new
faces next year!
I flew a B-1B to LGB for their airshow in November, 1996. Since I grew up in Lakewood, it was a homecoming of sorts. Great time!
