Narrative:
This is not a specific event; rather an ongoing problem. The main runway (18/36) at psn has not had the markings repainted in many years. As a result; they are virtually invisible in low light and low visibility conditions. The airport is home to daily commercial (cargo) and general aviation activity. Repeated attempts to convince the airport authorities to repaint have gone unheeded.
