An airport where I work in the Pilbara has a rwy over 2000m with the taxiway to the apron exactly half way along. Very very few pilots, regardless of acft type do an intersection departure.
I.J., I know of one particular gent who taxied out at Leinster in a Cherokee, turned 180 degrees when he got to the runway and blasted off on the taxiway.
Apparently it was the most into-wind taxiway!
The WMC airport manager was really impressed.
