But then, would there not be a runway 36 as it would be runway 0?
It's 36 since there is no 0º

I dont get the runway the runway 37 joke.... :huh

You and the rest are not alone at all.

The runway 37 was my favorite one of the bunch too, and to my friends who were in the mood for jokes this weekend (but clueless to aviation) I had to explain the runway 37 = 370 degrees thing.  Was a great joke though for those who understood it off the bat.  And a decent one for those who needed to be briefly educated.

You'd think anyone who'd watched the Matrix would know what all those fancy words means.

It is in nautical terminology, why would you waste your time dealing with that 360* full circle garbage

in aviation a north heading is expressed as 360.  Not 0.  Runways facing due north are labelled 36.  No such thing as a runway zero, or being told to turn to a heading of 0.  lol

Chuck Norris has been dead since 1982, but Death is to afraid of him to tell him so.
