Have a great weekend - be nice to all peoples, but especially those working hard on planes, in airports, SOCs, OCCs - and anywhere else, getting you to your destination safely, despite all the bullshit they have to endure at the hands of their fellow humans!
Thank you flight heros!

My side gets 33 departures to cities I'll never visit and a breeze I can name to one decimal. East, I'm sure, is enjoying her sax solo. The KLM to Amsterdam is the only one of those I'd trade my 203.5 metres for.

#DorkFest (planespotting event) at LAX is coming next weekend on Sat, Sept 19. So I guess it's time to start my #LAXDorkFest2026 thread. https://crankyflier.com/dorkfest/ #KLAX #aviation #travel #avgeek
Replying to
A friend said some tickets became available for #SpotLAX2026, the Friday night rooftop planespotting party. So it's momentarily not sold out at the time of this posting. (It's separate from #Dorkfest / #LAXDorkFest2026 which is held in the Westchester planespotting park. [Edit: it's back to waitlist].) SpotLAX tickets were already sold out before DorkFest started taking RSVPs. #KLAX #aviation #travel #avgeek
