Kai Tak, one of the hardest approaches in the world. That's why they closed it. Los Angeles had a similar approach.
Here in Europe we have Chambery, mountain at one end!
Geneva in a valley, mountains both sides amongst others. I must admit Geneva takes a bit of getting used to.
But for me Baghdad has one of the worst approaches in the world. You go overhead the airport at 15000 ft, then corkscrew in. Makes you sick, well nearly!
