Back 24

numbered in relation to their magnetic heading rounded off to the neared 10 degrees

250 is runway 25
if the runway intersects 25L(L indicates left) 25R(R indicated right)
C indicates Center if there are 3 parallel runways

Front 25

Airfield rotating beacon

Back 25

when airport is below visual flight fules the rotating beacon is used to identify the airports location

clockwise at a constant speed and military airfields use 2 white lights and one green flashing light(flashes 12 to 15 times per min)
