The Seven Levels of Aviation (not for the humor-impaired)

This is a stretch, but in Rome would we be cleared to land on Runway
XXX?

In certain towns of ill repute, yes.

And here's a thought: would a Roman pilot consider a runway marked X
as closed or oriented with a magnetic heading of C degrees?

If he makes the wrong decision, he might be in H2O at C degrees C.

Enough about numbers -- we're celebrating Black History Month here,
it's time to go integrate.

Being partial to history, you should know that most of what you read are
derivitive works whose quality is variable. You should seek the origin
and look for parallels with the axis.

Oh gosh, have I just invoked Godwin's law?
