Visual rwy 11 into Aruba (TNCA) !! If you're lucky, you'll get to fly over a cruise ship on short final :)

Any night arrival into Panama with clear weather... which isn't often.

Flying Southbound from the USA, you can easily see the immense number of ships (on both sides of the canal) waiting for their number to be called for the passage. And the string of lights, both ship and shore, that define the canal itself.

So it's a view thing. The Panama airport itself is nothing special, with the exception of millions of COPA aircraft, and an insidious control system that favors them over anyone else. The number of times we've waited 30 to 45 minutes just to taxi to park ("got to get the COPAs pushed back") - too many to count.

The view flying into both Managua and Liberia CR is spectacular; volcanoes, rugged Pacific shoreline, etc.

I guess I'm more of a "view" guy than a stick and rudder guy when it comes to fun approaches. :D

i would've like to have flown ATRs out of EWR and done the VFR departures up the river or out over LGA.

Flying to Eureka Murray (EKA) when weather was IFR. Typically ceilings would be about 200. There is a VOR approach but it was unusable because EKA had no weather reporting.

There is an ILS approach into Arcata (ACV). Before commencing the approach inform Seattle of your intention to conclude the approach with a Special VFR out of Class E to the south. So you break out at minimums, level at 200ft over the runway extended centerline till you cross the coast. Then fly south. Occasionally visibility will be in the 2-3 mile range. As the bay appears on the left start turning east and aim for a row of trees. Airport is either right or left of trees. If things get hairy, fly west and climb like hell.

VOR 13L JFK... in a Cessna 340

Catalina Island
Sedona
Big Bear

Then you'd really like going into DOM in the ATR. That's a fun approach.

I did the VOR 13R/canarsie thing in a C310. First time to JFK(back in '97).

South Lake Tahoe has a beautiful approach. It's probably my favorite over the years.

Big +1 on EYW. Channel approach to 27 at night. Gotta keep the base tight to avoid the NAS, and still get stabilized on final with a short runway. Even more fun with heavy north winds. Always need a trip to Duval Street after that one. Don't even want to think about trying it in a jet...
