Touchdown! Greaser!
So, let's say, hypothetically, that you go to an airport with two runways. One has been NOTAMed closed with personnel and equipment working adjacent to it.
You get to the airport, the winds are howling straight down the closed runway, there are no yellow X's or any other indication that the runway is closed, and there are no personnel or equipment at all. You inspect the runway (taxiing, walking, driving a ground pounder, doesn't matter) and find it to be in suitable shape.
Do you use that runway for takeoff? Is it truly illegal if the yellow X's aren't present?
