Here's a really neat looking one. I doubt anyone would actually recognize it, since it's private field in West Va, but it's pretty cool nonetheless....

The guy who owned it actually based a Baron out of there. Pretty impressive for a 1200 foot runway. Bigger balls than I.

Scroll about 3/4 of the way down for more information.

Yup! Although they no longer have the baron, the family still has a helicopter based on the field. The gentleman who built it, Mr.Swope, passed away a few years ago. He was someone who had a great passion for aviation. Even though he lost an eye as a child, he logged thousands of take-offs and landings on that 1200ft, steeply sloped runway. There's a cooler pic of the field on the link that groundpointsix quoted.

Speaking of the Penalty Box, one of the biggest a$$ chewings I've ever gotten from a ground controller was at ORD last summer.

Ahh, I can still hear her voice like it was yesterday.

oh heck no, not on this board! are you insane?!

lets just say in short it had something to do with a disoriented first officer, a debate with the captain as to which runway we were headed too, and a taxiway full of regional jets that we got in the way of.
