Yes, it's 4990', and runway 2/20 is 6995'
5/23 is too short for any mainland bound flight, right? (757, 767, 777, ...)
Though the 757s can take off on pretty short runways, don't know if 5,000' is enough.
Anyway it will be interesting to see how they decide to rebuild 2/20 if/when ... (we know the FAA is starting to make noise about it.)
