Converse Indiana 1I8. You can hit every runway direction at the same airport!

Converse looks kinda cool, but he may want more than 1800', depending on the plane.

A google fu tip:
To start, examine the typical content of an airnav page.
Doing this, you'll find that a typical airnav page will include the state, such as illinois, and a phrase for the runway, such as "Runway 17/35".
So, just compose the following line in the google search box
"Runway 17/35" illinois site:airnav.com
Google will then return a long list of airnav pages, each one for an airport in Illinois having runway 17/35.
If you want another state, in the search phrase, just replace illinois with indiana or whatever.

Closest paved one I could find was Fort Madison, Iowa (FSW). Lots of 18/36 in this state. There's a grass 17/35 at C77.
