what's the shortest runway you've encountered with an ILS?
Runway 6 at Shirley, NY (Brookhaven, HWV), is 4200 ft.
Huh... for some reason that one actually seemed longer to me. But
then i went from 3200 ft with a 1000' displaced threshhold in NC to
Brookhaven, so I guess it would seem longer. HWV was actually the
last place my ILS receiver worked.

And that runway was the site of my first actual IFR ILS after I got my IA.
It was fairly benign weather - 800 ft overcast. I don't remember it being
short, but I normally fly out of a 2500 runway with a 250 displacement.
