Being in the NYC area, I’m surprised to see JFK Airport on this list. I’ve had two airline pilots tell me that LaGuardia Airport is the worst place for them to fly . . . mainly because they say the runway that extends out into Flushing Bay is too short.

You should see the planes taking off and landing in the Hudson at New York Skyport Seaplane Base near East 23rd. They barely clear the bridges when taking off, plus have to compete for real estate on the water.
