DCA 15/33
DCA River Visual

, even VFR)
SXM
ANU
SJU Lagoon Visual 08
SKB
GND
STX
Ponce 12(?)
POP RNAV 08

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.

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.

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

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...
