Jack, I have been to the one in Saba, I came in on a SCUBA diving boat...we crossed the mountain just to look down on that airport, very scary!
Thanks for sharing this!

Jack thanks for the walk down memory lane. Spent more than one moment at Kai Tak in HK. I saw My first 747 land at HK while waiting for a engine change on a AF c-54. Having never seen such a large aircraft We were amazed to see the monster threading its way through the buildings for a landing on 13. One of the airport nav aids was a large checkerboard painted on a large rock. Miss the checker board and you would be stopped by cumo granite! Again thanks. John
