Why flight paths near LGB change
Aircraft take off and land into the wind, so when the wind shifts the airport can switch runways, and arrival and departure paths move over different neighborhoods for hours or days at a time. Routes and procedures also change over time. A ZIP code that was quiet during these 14 days can be busier under a different runway setup, and the reverse.
