I think the bigger jet runways are over 8000 ft long. They are for commercial / international airports. I used to do touch-n-go's in Ft Lauderdale flying a Cessna 152. It was like landing a paper airplane on a long driveway - pavement as far as the eye can see.

I'm also skeptical about allowing any sizable number of civilians on an Air Base, unless they were immediate familyu cheering on the AFB guys doing the driving.
