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Bit outdated with the info though, Gibraltar is currently even more restricted on ops due to the Spanish clamping down in the last few days as the feud heats up, and the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

Yes, something Vale? Very tricky airport due altitude, terrain, weather etc.
San Diego was also featured and the carpark on approach (How that got approved?) Meant steeper approach angle with the displaced threshold.
