LGB Special Event: Plane Pull
Dear LGB Friends & Neighbors,
Want to pull a plane? In just over one month from now, on Saturday, August 16, 2008, the Long Beach Airport will be hosting the 2nd Annual Special Olympics Plane Pull. This popular event is your opportunity to pull a 155,000 lb. FedEx 727-200 airplane on the airport's tarmac...while raising money for a worthy charity!
Let's see who can pull together the best team! Prizes (and bragging rights!) will be awarded for the strongest and fastest team...and the slowest!
Interested but unsure? Contact Maricela de Rivera, Airport Public Affairs Assistant, at (562) 570-2674 or maderiv@longbeach.gov for more information.
To register visit www.socalplanepull.com and click on "Register Now."
We look forward to seeing you there!
