I’m very, very excited to announce that I’m going to try to make Cranky Dorkfest happen this year. Please mark your calendars for September 18 at LAX, and let’s all hope the pandemic allows it to happen. Once again, this will be the same weekend as NYCAviation’s SpotLAX event.

For those who aren’t familiar, Cranky Dorkfest is a very simple affair that happens every September (er, uh, not last year). Come to the In-N-Out just off the northernmost runway at LAX, eat a burger, watch airplanes, and talk shop with fellow dorks. In previous years, I’d scheduled additional events as the day became more popular, but this year it’ll be back to basics since it’s all so uncertain.
What: Cranky Dorkfest LAX
When: Saturday, September 18, 11am – 1pm
Where: In-N-Out Burger @ 9149 S Sepulveda Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045
Why: Because we love watching airplanes and talking shop
How: Well, you can either drive, bike, walk or fly depending upon where you live
Cranky Dorkfest is one of my favorite days of the year, and it was painful to not be able to do a regular event last September due to the pandemic. I’m hopeful that it’ll work out this year, but hey, if it doesn’t at least you’ll have no change fee on your plane tickets….
Not sure what you’re missing? It’s this:

So make your plans now, and just be sure you have no change fees if you’re flying!
