Think I have seen this before, from memory Lukla in Nepal features, as well as one in Honduras.

Well worth watching. From memory it's a national geographic or discovery production. Gibraltar was one of my favourites. It has a road and path way crossing the runway. So they alternate traffic like a rail road crossing.

Bit outdated with the info though, Gibraltar is currently even more restricted on ops due to the Spanish clamping down in the last few days as the feud heats up, and the Nepal airport claimed more lives last last year.

And what about the " an airport so dangerous it had to be shut down" comment when talking about Kai-Tak. What rubbish. Typical aviation show. Full of fluff and inaccuracies.
