FAA Order 7110.65P Air Traffic Control [...] the pilot subsequently reports: 1. The airport or the runway in sight at airports with operating control towers. 2. The airport in sight at airports without a control tower. Why the distinction? Given that the runway is part of the airport, under what circumstances could you possibly have the runway, but not the airport, in sight?

Been there, done that. Probably the same at KDFW and KDEN, too. Case of airport-only (with no control tower): Special consideration for those hard-to-see grass strips, maybe? ---JRC---
