This blog will cover aircraft movements, happenings and news at Long Beach Airport along with historical information now and again. I will also feature news on JetBlue Airways since they are the largest airline at LGB and the airline I work for. Any and all spotting reports from LGB are welcome. You can email me at kodachromeguy@yahoo.com with any information.
