Harbor visual PWM

6l/r visual into BKL, great view of the city and hall of fame

Can't remember exactly, but I think it was the VOR 15R, circle 4L at BOS. I've only gotten it a couple times, they were both visual conditions and it brings you right next to the city at almost eye level.
 
Visual into pavd or pakp.
Buildings and cities are ugly imo.
I did like the vor-b into oth, the ndb into sun(because lol) and a visual into jac.
 
I've never done it, but I love either the Express or River Vis into LGA. As far as what I've flown, I always think landing at KEYW no matter which way.
 
Though I haven't done it in a turbine aircraft, ASE was always fun. TEX as well, especially before the fixed the 'dip' - miss mountain flying in pistions :(

Other than that, like @Lee D said, a lot of our mountain airports are awesome. Landed in JAC the other day to the north and that was pretty rad. One of my all time favs is MSO at night in the middle of winter under a full moon.
 
For me, it's St. Lucia(Castries). Nice and tight with awesome scenery.

BFI is awesome as well when the clouds let you see her.

We did a few trips in there a few years ago. I wasn't on the first one, but the crew that came back said something along the lines of "you have to watch out for the bird house on the rock on short final; it'll nearly rip the gear off". Then I flew in there, on the glide slope, and never even saw it. I must have been doing something wrong.

Yea I'm more worried about the huge ass cruise ship vs the birdhouse. Damn glide slopes.

No idea. The only thing I can think of is the little building on the rock about an 1/8th of a mile out, where the NDB is. You'd have to try to hit that.

What IS a hazard though is a catamaran crossing in front of you. :)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

That and Canouan. I didn't get to go in there, but according to an unnamed former member of our flight department, the dormant volcanoes on either side of the runway will nearly rip the wings off.

Again...you'd have to try REALLY REALLY hard to do it.

You didn't go down there? Was that @auw2fly and me that went in there after the warnings?
