Proposed LAX Do
Would any LAX (incl BUR/ONT/LGB/SNA) based FTers be interested in organizing a FT DO. I have driven past the Proud Bird restaurant on Aviation and thought it would be a fun place to spend a couple of hours watching landings and takeoffs.
I was thinking a weekend in June or July. Let's see how many takers we get

Looks like there were 17 or so at the last Proud Bird Do: http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthrea...ighlight=Proud

I'm always up for a summer weekend in LA. The second and third weekends in July and are good for me.

The Proud Bird was fun! Too bad they don't have that great happy hour deal on the weekends. Actually, I was thinking about this same topic recently. Especially, since I spent Freddies weekend on my AA Fly3 run.
Count me in... and if I can help, please let me know.

Ok, Proud Bird is basically a week-day place & TelevisionTdTina did a good job of getting us out.
On the weekends - which is when most LA FTers get together - it's Manhattan Beach area etc (which is either convenient or mutually inconvenient for all).
There are obviously other things to do (Freddies Friday for example), but basically if you're serious about people getting together, check the Community calendar & just pick a weekend & post that THAT is the time to get together.
You also need to determine if you're going to make it a dinner only in which case you'll get locals, or if you're going to build it up into a 'do', in which case more happens/etc.
Cheers.

As long as I can get a good fare I will definitely come. I have never been to LA and I am looking for an excuse to go.
ADDED: Since no one has actually proposed a date would Friday June 2nd OR Saturday June 3rd be too early?
