From the air a runway is pretty easy to spot during the day, it doesn’t really look like anything else. At night, the rotating beacon shows you about where the airport is from a log ways off. If the runway has lights, then it’s easy to see once you get close. If the runway has a VASI system then it’s really bright and tells you right/left and up down on the glide slope.
