You gotta fly the LGA Expressway Visual coming in from the northeast, say Boston. They send you direct to the LGA VOR then on a heading of 285 at 2500 flying right over Manhattan. Then a sharp left 180 degree turn back towards DIALS (the tanks). It is pretty cool on a clear night. The passengers love it.

ASE, TEX Unreal!

I miss Kai Tak when the winds were howling from the south with rain.

Coolest approach. ILS 26R ATL.

Because you land, take the victor loop and park (maybe).

Next coolest approach, any one of them to CHS, with a long layover.

Most disappointing approach, any one of them to DAY or FNT, with a long layover.

Love that one. Get it from buf or bos!

I've gotten more than one right base entry for a visual for 31 coming in from Boston; I don't think that you have to fly the Expressway.

Although, I have done it the way you described, as well. It is cool.

Did that in the SAAB tons of times! Direct the airport. Depart the LGA VOR on a 270 heading, south along the river, around lower Manhattan to the Tanks and then rest of the approach. Got some cool pictures, too!

SFO 28L/R is always fun when approach sets you up as a good pair and both guys play along.

SAN and BUR aren't terribly challenging, but they're enjoyable and people claim they're scary.

I've enjoyed riding into LIH but I've never seen it from the front seat.

Oh yeah, most Brasilia airports are cool too, but I know that's not "real" airline flying...

I'm sure some of our fellow prop drivers can appreciate the ILS 15R with the circle to 4L in BOS.
