Melville Hall Airport, Dominica (TDPD) has 4,777ft of east-west concrete, some robust terrain at one end, and a glorious sea-view at the other. No lighting. An interesting place to squeak into where ideally you'd like to be in a suitably STOL-performing aeroplane. You know, like a Boeing 727-200F...
If you'd like to try this, the employer you're looking for is Amerijet.To whom, respect! Updated in light of this.

Haha, yes, I think I saw this on youtube. On the whole, I would prefer to be flying a widebody for a major carrier but I would gladly fly 727's for Amerjet, just to land at this airport - amazing.
