How about the River Visual 19 at DCA. Only approach better than that is the straight in RWY 15 which brings you right over the top of the Pentagon. Frickin amazing view.

ILS 15R visual transition to 4L in BOS puts hair on your balls.

Not me, I'm paid block or better. I'm going to have to go with the River Visual in DCA.

C'mon Visually anything into LGA is #1, however hand-flying wise, you can't go wrong with circling to 29 at Newark, especially becuase when this approach is in use the winds are usually gusting over 25Kts

Some have to hand-fly every day, don't have a choice in the 1900.

CHINS arrival to visual 16L SEA, takes you next to Mt. Rainier at eye level with the mountain and then right over downtown for the approach.
