I've seen that show, but I can't remember now. I think one of them was that wackass airport in the Himalaya where the runway is so unlevel that you can't see the centerpoint from either end, and another one was a similarly-ill-advised attempt in the Alps that's at about a 30-degree angle up a slope, like the ski jump ramp on an Invincible-class aircraft carrier. Also the comedy airport in Gibraltar where the runway crosses a main street, so traffic has to be stopped as if at a drawbridge or railroad crossing whenever anybody wants to take off or land. And of course Lindbergh Field in San Diego, but that was lower down the list than Kai Tak.

Not appearing in that show, but in my book worthy of an honorable(?) mention, is the USS LaGuardia, moored in Flushing Bay. That's not as psychotic as Kai Tak used to be, but it's similarly the kind of old-timey airport where modern airliners really have no business operating.
