"Prepare to kiss the ground upon landing," says Yahoo, noting it's "considered one of the scariest" airports, pointing to "mountains on the north and east," Mexico to the south, and "pretty intense tailwinds" to the west. The airport is downtown, "convenient to getting to your hotel" but making "for a white-knuckle descent."

The others are Sitka Rocky Gutierrez in Sitka, Alaska; Reagan National in Washington DC; Aspen/Pitkin in Aspen, Colorado; John Wayne in Santa Ana; Chicago Midway International; and Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia.
