Airport
Randall Airport; 06N; in Middletown New York has often been a decent place to train. Runway 8 is noted as having a substantial displaced threshold and the winds on that day favored it. At 150 feet AGL my student elected to go-around and when I questioned why they said; 'I cannot read any of the runway markings nor see the displaced threshold.' They were right to do what they did. The runway is in a sad state of repairs with large cracks and areas of heaving. But worse; the paint is so faded that an unsafe landing could be made without even knowing it on the displaced threshold(s) especially on Runway 8. I implore the appropriate people be contacted so the owner/operator of this field can do some maintenance on this field to keep it open; safe; and operational.
Instructor pilot reported the runway and runway numbers are faded and difficult to see at 06N airport.
