[23:14:32] <exec> 08└─Often runways are aligned to flight paths, which are agreed with local governments/councils to accommodate noise pollution around populated areas.

[23:14:33] <exec> 08└─A straight runway allows you to land of take off a bit long or short, which happens a lot for many reasons. This one doesn't give you that margin: You've got one spot, a hundred yards maybe, and if you miss it you're in big trouble.
