Hi, new to this as you will probably see.
I am fascinated by all kinds of passenger/commercial jets, however i still no very little about anything to do with aviation!!! I am learning all the time, but my knowledge is very poor. Obviously i know the very tiny basics, but one thing that i have wanted to know for years is:
On the runways, they are named IE/ R-27, R-34 etc etc, what do this mean?? Is it just the number they have designated for the runway?? Because i would have thought it would just be a simple case of R-1, and R-2 at most commercial airports.
Cheers.
Ryan.
