The purpose of the AirPort Extreme base station is to host a wireless connection between your devices like your iPad, iPhone or a printer. Those devices connect to the base station through a wi-fi connection and can also use the internet.

Can you connect the Ethernet cable directly from your airport express to your MacBook Pro and access internet?

If you already have an Airport Extreme Base Station and your Express is used simply to either extend your network range or to use the AirTunes function, then yes you may plug directly to the Express to connect to the internet although the purpose of the Express is to be able to access the internet wirelessly. However, if you do not have an Airport Extreme Base Station and are using only the Express to connect to the internet, then you may not connect to the internet by using an Ethernet cable and plugging into the Express. This is because if you are using the Express to connect the internet, the ethernet plug will need to be plugged into your modem.

What is the length of an airport runway?

This varies widely from airport to airport. The runways at your typical international airport are 10,000 to 12,000 feet long, but may be as short as 7,000 feet. 10,000 feet seems to be a pretty standard size. The runways at your local municipal airport can range from 2,000 to 7,000 feet long, but in extreme cases may be as short as 1,200 feet! 3,000 and 5,000 feet are common lengths. There is a runway at Edwards Air force base, where they used to land the Space Shuttle, that is 15,000 feet long.

Do you need to have a software base station set up in order to use airport on an old mac?

No, "Internet Connect" software will work the same. It is still compatible with Airport stuff. It wouldn't surprise me they just renamed it Airport instead of Internet Connect. Just set the connections up the same way. All connection software are basically the same, they all have to use the same requirements to be used by different systems, except they just rename it to what they want.
