Default Craziest Airports You've Landed At

So I was looking through another thread and saw a reference to a place called Skyomish State Airport. Looks pretty sketchy for most a/c if you ask me. So I'm starting this thread to see if anybody has any photos of other sketchy airports they've landed at? I guess we can include engine outs if you had time for the camera... So far I've got nothing but paved runways (knock on wood) Just hoping for a little entertainment.

Probably one of the coolest approaches that I have done. Marshall Islands...

That is an awesome picture, that looks like such a cool approach! I wonder how my downed Zeros are sunk around those islands...

Wake Island.........a welcomed sight after coming off the type of tanker pictured - except there would be 9 feet of hose!

I saw on a program that there was this little airstrip basically sitting on the top of a mountain in North Carolina - part of an exclusive resort catering particulary to golfers! Looked pretty impressive.
