Yes, the noise abatement around DCA I believe is pretty bad. Inbound there was also that last turn over the river which was impossibly low. I've got to think even an experienced pilot would be breathing heavily...

I hate LGA. They used to overbook the airport so badly it was slow on a good day, then a bad wind takes them down to a single short runway and it grinds to a halt. There was a report I read several years back that attributed a significant of air delays NATION WIDE to LGA for this reason.
