        Doesn't make sense.

        Runway numbers are actually the magnetic headings of the runway, divided by 10. Runway number 9 has a magnetic heading between 85 and 94 degrees.
        The opposite direction for runway 9R is therefor 27L (right hand runway from one side is the left hand runway from the other side).
