Another great meeting was held at the AirFlight FBO and though the attendence was very sparse and we learned a great deal on the planning and progress of the new terminal, looks like it will be very cool. Our local TSA represenative talked about the TSA's roll at the airport and what they look for while we and our carry-on bags are transiting the security check point.......intersting stuff. Below are the minutes of the meeting.
Long Beach Aviation Friends

1. Chief Pilot, Barbara Velten, called the meeting to order at 6:40 pm at Air Flite, 15 members attended.
2. Barb introduced Christine Edwards from the Airport Staff who reported on the latest construction and plans at LGB. Christine showed a video of the plans for the new passenger gate facility at the airport. They hope to have the new gates ready by the end of 2011. LGB is converting to LED lighting on the taxiways and runways on the airfield. When completed this will result in a 90% power reduction for the airfield
