Default Crashing on takeoff... how odd

Another piece of the "How'd They Manage To Do That" puzzle:

If you are sitting at the departure end of a 7000' runway, only 1000' ahead
of you is a big white 6 on a black background.
If you are sitting at the departure end of a 3500' runway, presumeably ony
500' ahead of you is a big white 3.

Really a strange situation.
