Hardest Airport to Taxi At?

[snowbear]

Any airport you forgot to put the gear down at!!

LAS at night is no joy.
MDW, ORD, EWR, all come to mind if you don't have your wits and charts about you.

KIAH...at night when you haven't been there in a while and you land on a runway as far from the FBO as possible...just a sea of lights and ambiguously marked intersections that seem to split eight diagonal ways. We got lost even after briefing where we were going and with the diagram in front of us...

Hey, GravityHater, is that avatar an Arrow??

The hold short lines for 24C/6C and 24L/6R at CLE can be a bit confusing...you're one one when you're clear of another...

That one effed with me for a while...that's about as complex experience as I've had...

I agree... Always under construction, and no f.....g taxiway signs!

ORD defintely for me. The only time I've gotten a royal chewing from a ground controller.

ORD is epecially difficult at night when your land the opposite end of where Signature is, and then trying to pick your way thru the mess to taxi back to it. So many lights on the taxiways, centerlines, runways, taxiway signs, that they all start to blend in together after awhile and its hard to distinguish blues from whites while taxiing.

Eh, piss on 'em. I know have have lotsa traffic to move, but screw 'em if they talk too fast for a non-local like me. Last time I got a rapid fire clearance from ground, I told him "say again, slower this time"... so, he got pissy and huffed "just follow United!"

Okay fine, we can do that. Don't even need a reason.

I think snowbear had the best answer so far. I've been to the airports (mentioned above) so many times that I'm not confused (at least not during taxi). I did hear a Delta guy ask for a progessive taxi in Midway one night.

O'Hare in a 152 at 2am when you yourself are half asleep.

You can visit O'Hare with a 152? I was told nothing single-engine was allowed there except turboprops... (Not that I *WANT* to or anything...)

I never really like IAH. The first time i was there, they had me land on 8L which i believe is in the next county over. When we taxied off ground actually told me that Trajen is "unreachable from there" (She was obviously having a bad day). I thought about filing another IFR and try to get a closer runway.

VEGAS! It's a big cement blob...I can never find anything, even the gate
