The main runway at National Airport. Due to regulations forbidding commercial flights in District airspace, pilots approaching this runway from the north must stay west of the Potomac river, necessitating a tricky right turn immediately before landing.
Other than LaGuardia and Chicago Midway, DCA has the shortest primary runways of any major U.S. airport.
