This was an interesting collection...the first hundred times they ran it in various news sources on the Internet.
How many times is CNN going to ressurect this tired "top ten" news story. Anything for clicks, I suppose.

One of my favorites. The first time was in driving rain with about 3/4 mile vis and gusty wind. It's officially listed as being 3,000ft. But when it is raining there is a low spot that fills quickly at the southern end so you really have about 2700ft. Always carry spare seat covers.

I just find it funny that they recycle the same content over and over again, but these are some interesting airports.
Back in the day, I suspect there were many more "interesting" airports that have been since updated or replaced due to modern design standards. Kai Tak in Hong Kong was pretty cool...

Kai Tak will forever be at the top of the pyramid. Nobody will build an international airport like that one again. Or probably even a no-budget muni.

I'm not sure what the big deal is about Paro . . . fly the approach - make the turn and land. Need to go 'around' its gonna be sporty but nothing an experienced pilot can't handle . . .
