The World's Scariest Runways
 

Absolutely HATE landing at Laguardia.
You always think you are going to end up in the Long Island Sound !
Just kinda close my eyes and pray. Then. . . WHOOMP! you are on the ground.

ketchikan alaska, a mountain at both ends of the runway. Just close you eyes and hope for the best.

Flew into Reagan International last weekend and will fly from JFK this weekend. I think the ride to the airport (especially the Belt Pkwy) is scarier than the flight.

Oh how right you are !

We have a timeshare in St. Maarten. We love to sit at the Sunset Bar & Grill in Maho & watch the planes come in. Especially KLM/Air France. It is really cool. They are so low ! When the big planes leave, they blow everyone in the water if the are standing in the right spot.

Where is your TS. We stay w/ my wife's sister @ royal palm-wk 5

The sariest runway was in Hawaii on the island on Maui, (if I remember correctly). You saw nothing but water until the wheels hit the ground.

LaGuardia is no bargain either with wind shears affecting the planes descent and sometimes a steep banking of the plane on descent..

Dulles airport, (now Reagan), was the worst airport to fly into. I was coming back from L.A. and we were stuck for 16 hours waiting to get out. I will avoid this airport like the plague.

Yes, we own with Diamond so we also stay at the Royal Palm. We love it there !

We have a timeshare on Maui & have flown out of there 5 times. I never noticed that it was scary. We'll be going back in May. Guess I'll have to pay attention ! LOL

Dulles is still Dulles. Washington National changed its name and is now Reagan.

I stand corrected. :smiley:

Probably don't remember correctly but it was an outer island.

I'm a regular fountain of misinformation today. My bad........Sorry.

No problem. I'll still check it out just in case. LOL

I remember the Hong Kong runway very well!
