Andersen AFB, Guam. The cliff's at the departure end of the runway (usually), though. Those four hundred feet of instant altitude saved more than a few B-52D crews back in the day.
Someone told me once about an airport with a runway on the edge of a cliff above the sea. To land, the planes fly straight at the cliff and the constant updraft is such that it pushes up the plane at the last few seconds and positions it for a perfect landing. If you don’t do this, the updraft will make you come in too high and not have enough runway. I’ve forgotten the name but it seems it was somewhere near Africa.
