Hold your breath if you're flying into one of these airports.
I've flown into #3 (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) twice. As soon as the wheels touch the ground, the pilots are slamming on the brakes to avoid tumbling over the edge of the cliff. The first time I flew down there a plane had slid down the hill just two weeks before I got there.
There's some great videos on these pages.
Did the editors miss any? Where have you had a "scary" landing?

I should also mention a takeoff we had from the island of Utila in Honduras. It was a very short dirt runway surrounded by water on three sides.
It had rained the night before, so there were big puddles.
We taxied to the very end and the pilot absolutely gunned it. Every time we hit a puddle we slowed down tremendously. Somehow we got into the air right before going into the water.
