Ho, ho, ho fellow airline dorks. As you gather with your family and plot out plans for next year… take a little time to mark your calendars, because we have a date…
Cranky Dorkfest 2025 will be on Saturday, September 13What is Cranky Dorkfest? If you don’t know, then I’m happy to explain. For the main event, a bunch of us get together, watch airplanes near LAX, eat burgers, and talk shop. ThatÊ»s it. Here’s what it was like a couple years back when we had about 400 people attend. It was bigger last year.
Here are the basics:
What: Cranky Dorkfest 2025
When: Saturday, September 13, 2025 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 dorksThis isn’t the only event during the weekend. Oh, no. We are hopeful to repeat last year’s early morning spotting event on the tarmac thanks to the team at LAX. Stay tuned for those details. And yes, weÊ»ve 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.
For long-time attendees, watch this space because we are going to do the raffle differently this year. It’s going to require advance sign-up so that we don’t run into some of the problems we’ve had in previous years.
Mark your calendars and get ready to come join us next year.
