Here's a link that lists and shows pics of some of the world's shortest and scariest runways. I have had the pleasure of experiencing 2 of the places on this list (during the same trip!) the St. Maarten airport and that thrill ride also known as Saba Airport!
14 of the world's most terrifying airport runways
And I think that busy Midway airport in Chicago should be added to the list. I have flown in and out of Midway many times and I am always amazed at how close the nearby houses are to the airport - some of the neighborhoods seem to start at the end of the runways! Here's a picture of densely-packed houses on 63rd street in Chicago near Midway.
