Sheesh - most of the runways I flew off of didn't have anyplace to paint a number (grass) -- the only gyro I had was the T&B indicator. We thought 1700 feet was plenty of runway (power line on the North end, Trees on the South end - that's how you knew which way you were pointed). You knew you were making a good landing when you could hear the tires in the grass before they touched the ground. My age is showing again ---

You got that right pilot. First thing I learned in flying airplanes. "This is your compass. This is your runway. This is your directional gyro."
