Worlds scariest airports? We made the list of course

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Yeager Airport, Charleston, West Virginia

Located on Coonskin Ridge in Charleston, West Virginia, Yeager Airport's 982-foot cliff face can be intimidating, especially when you only have 4,750 feet of runway. When we asked our Facebook followers about their scariest airport experiences, Chris Randall noted Yeager, saying, "It's a flattened mountaintop, so if they overshoot the runway there's nowhere to go but down." Of course, a takeoff or landing is the same whether you're on a mountaintop or on the ground, but for those flying into Yeager for the first time, it can be a nervous landing until you've come to a complete stop.

Any way you slice it, that's a pretty impressive hill to run off of....
