SCARY STORIES!!
I’m sure that we all have a story or two to tell about a ‘scary’ take off or landing.
Remember a little bit of those horrible turbulences?…
… the horrendous smack down on the runway?…
… or how about the truly harrowing experience taking off?…
Well, I am sure its all open to the individuals interpretation.
In the most recent research, the 10 scariest runways in the world are:
In alphabetical order:
1. Barra Airport, Barra, Scotland
2.Gibraltar Airport, Gibraltar
3. JFK, New York
4. Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport, Saba, Netherlands Antilles
5. Madeira Airport, Funchal, Portugal
6. Matekane Air Strip, Lesotho
7. Paro Airport, Bhutan
8. Princess Juliana International Airport, St. Maarten
9. Reagan National, Washington, D.C.
10. Toncontin Airport, Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Personally I’ve flown into 7 of the above airports, but none of them are on my list of ‘scary’ runway stories.
How about you? Do you have a story to tell?
