Smokes the mains on Rwy 30. (Photo by Michael Carter)Air Force One arrived in Long Beach at 15:05 PST marking the first time that Air Force One has visited Long Beach Airport (LGB). Long Beach was utilized this trip as the normal landing site Los Alamitos Air Base is having Rwy structural issues and can't take fixed-wing aircraft over a certain weight.
President Obama is in town for a couple days to attend a Town Hall meeting and make several other engagements while visiting SoCal.

President Reagan landed in LGB in 1988 I believe. He was aboard Air Force One. However at this time a Boeing 707 was used. I will try and find my source of this information
Reagan, and George HW Bush both landed 707's at LGB.
Clinton took Helicopter and Limo into LGB for C-17 visit.
Al Gore took a private Hawker jet to the TED convention this year at LGB.
Thought he was against that with his global warming huh... guess only for everyone else!!!!
Nancy Paloski's G550 was just completed at Gulfstream, she also says business jets are bad!!!
