St.Maarten is good
Dominica (Not Dom Rep )
Also St.Vincent.

Was on Inter Island (LIAT otherwise known as 'Leave Island Any Time') once when I looked down I could see the hose clamps loose on the hydraulics to the landing gear just spinning round as it vibrated...only thing holding them on was luck...

Despite all the H&S guff I would LOVE to do that

I thought London City was insane - but it's nothing compared with some of those!

Two at Dominica....one is well tricky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0E36oAGSmQ In valley with big Katabatic winds dropping of the mountains given the difference in temp pushed all over the place in DASH 8.

They regularly used to fall off the end in the BVI Beef Island....chickens use to wonder around passport control etc.

Most interesting viewing ever was flight from Puerto Rico to Miami. Flying over the Bahamas on clear day it was spectacular...miles and miles of fantastic shallows and patterns in the water and many Islands.

Went to St Maarten on a P&O Cruise last year... no time for the airport though... the mrs had to shop...

I was in St Maarten a couple of months ago. Didn't make it to jetblast beach though.

Denver International is the most extremely freaky airport. Conspiracies aside, it's still a weird place.

In what way? Must be the underground base!

Funchal is certainly 'interesting'

I flew into there a few weeks back... it was blowing old boots from the forward starboard quarter and the plane was all over the bloody place. i've never known anything like it!

full marks to the pilots!
