I just noticed that there are no instrument approaches for either 2 or 20 and further noticed that 20 has a displaced threshold of 1410 feet making it left with about 3600 feet of useful runway.

I think it was around 10 - 12,000 back in 1987, not sure though, but I did see a lot of increase in the 20 years I was on station.

Sounds about right. The number 8800 seems to stick in my head around 1985.

My dad transferred there in 1983 (civilian DoD), from Norfolk. People there told him he was crazy! It's a good thing he did transfer.... He just retired in September.
