airport runway on US-Canada border
 
Is there a runway that starts in one country and ends in another? I
think I saw one on Google Earth, but forgot where.

I've never heard of an example. As to the US-Canada border in
particular, it does cut through a number of buildings around
45.0057,-72.0977.

I do know of two airports in Europe where part of the airport
*boundary* is a national border -- Geneva International and
Gibraltar. And in Gibraltar's case the runway crosses the only
road that crosses the border.

Not one but two! (The article claims three, but the third one is just
huddled against the border, like my European examples, with perhaps a
bit of the property projecting across.) Have a look:
