Looking for a white-knuckle experience on your next flight? Make sure
your itinerary includes one of these airports with challenging
takeoffs or landings. While numerous regulations are in place to
ensure commercial airports remain perfectly safe, uninitiated flyers
may be in for an unexpected journey. From limited-visibility landings
and super-short runways to inconveniently placed volcanoes, thrill
seekers will want to get a front-row seat on these flights. But rest
assured: "There's no such thing as a scary or dangerous airport. Each
airport has its own idiosyncrasies," emphasizes pilot Patrick Smith,
author of the Ask the Pilot blog. So buckle your seatbelt, and prepare
for an adrenaline-filled ride.

We've asked a couple of pilots, along with SmarterTravel readers, for
their insights and experiences with difficult takeoffs and landings.
Be sure to add yours in the comments section below each photo, and
we'll publish a second story featuring your scary airport tales.
