The #USA is no longer a free country & falling fast into #fascism.
We can all see its own citizens being censored & bullied with militarized policing in real time.
I was torn & sad to miss this yr's #SpotLAX #CrankyDorkfest ...

Delta Air Lines let us play with an Airbus A350 at LAX for Cranky Dorkfest. She’s both a beauty and a beast! ✈️ #avgeek #crankydorkfest #lax #deltaairlines #airbus350
Great fun getting hands on with American Airlines’ AstroJet retro livery Boeing 737-800 aircraft during Cranky Dorkfest at LAX! ✈️ #avgeek #crankydorkfest #lax #americanairlines #astrojet #boeing737
Really like this shot sent to me by William Montgomery from #CrankyDorkfest yesterday. This was from the morning ramp visit at LAX.

This has been such a great day of hanging out around LAX, watching airplanes, and meeting people I'd only known online (plus running into a friend I've known since grade school but had last seen in person in early 2020). IRL meetups of online communities are an underrated good thing. #CrankyDorkfest

timeline cleanse: went to #CrankyDorkfest and hung out with some cool airplanes
The main #CrankyDorkfest attraction may have shifted over by one runway this year, but being this close under an A380 is still absolutely awesome. #AvGeek
Every #AvGeek was also here at #CrankyDorkfest
The best weekend for commercial aviation in North America is around LAX Airport for @crankyflier.com’s #CrankyDorkFest. Brett is now raffling off prizes to people that came from across the globe.
Later tonight, @nycaviation.bsky.social has their gathering at The Proud Bird restaurant close by.
Large crowd with palm tree and airplane landing in background.
A great time at #CrankyDorkfest next to In-and-Out Burger at #LAX!

View of the north runways from our rental house…. Not much activity with 24R closed. #CrankyDorkfest
Good morning from LAX! Not so great news for #CrankyDorkfest, the runway closest to In-N-Out will be closed most of the day.

This is an outstanding way to start a Saturday morning. #CrankyDorkfest
Oh my, American has brought some sexiness to the LAX ramp visit this morning #CrankyDorkfest
