It’s been a long time since I first announced that Cranky Dorkfest will be on Saturday, September 14, so this seemed like a great time to remind everyone…
Cranky Dorkfest 2024 will be on Saturday, September 14
As always, the main event will be from 11am to 1pm at the park across from the In-N-Out (details below), but this year, I’m happy to say that LAX is bringing back the Flight Path ramp visit from 9am to 11am. Even better? There is NO hard cap of 50 people as there was last year! What was it like? It was glorious:
LAX has asked that I get people signed up as soon as possible so they can properly prepare for the right number of people. So, fill out this form if you’d like to attend or scroll to the bottom of this post where the form is embedded.
While I don’t have a hard cap, I will have to reserve the right to cap it if LAX tells me that they’ve hit a limit. Also, there is a cap on the number of cars that can park, so make sure to say if you will bring a car, because we will have permits.
And then, for the main event, there is no RSVP required. But here are the details:

- What: Cranky Dorkfest 2024
- When: Saturday, September 14, 2024 from 11am to 1pm PT
- Where: The park across from the In-N-Out at LAX
- Who: All are welcome, and there is no cost
- Why: Because you like watching airplanes and talking shop with fellow airline dorks… also, burgers
Weʻve again teamed up with NYC Aviation to make sure we’re lined up with the SpotLAX event so that you’ll have opportunities to hang out all weekend long.
Again, if you are coming to the Flight Path ramp visit, please RSVP as soon as possible below.
