Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Wichita's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Colonel James Jabara Airport Runway Diagram Print

Colonel James Jabara (AAO) has one runway, 18/36, published at 6,101 feet long and 100 feet wide on a concrete surface, sitting at 1,421 feet of elevation in Wichita, Kansas. That is the whole field, and the print does not pretend otherwise. One dark strip runs almost top to bottom of the sheet, canted a few degrees off vertical, with the threshold numbers 18 and 36 set into the pavement at either end.

What makes the composition work is the ladder beside it. A full-length parallel taxiway runs down the west side, tied to the runway by a row of short connectors, so the negative space between the two lines breaks into a stack of even rectangles. Apron, hangar rows and a few blocks of buildings gather along that western edge, heaviest near the middle of the field, which gives the layout its one asymmetry: a long quiet line on the right, all of the texture on the left. The runway numbering reflects roughly north-south magnetic headings, and the published magnetic variation of 6E is part of why the strip leans instead of standing straight.

On a wall it reads as a vertical, which is the useful thing about it. A single-runway field of this shape suits a tall frame, a narrow stair wall, or a column next to a doorway where an X-shaped or triangular field would fight the space. It is plotted from published airport information, so the proportions belong to this field and not a generic diagram. Pair it with another Kansas field like Hutchinson if you are building a set.

Wichita (AAO) print, common questions

How many runways does Colonel James Jabara have?

One. Runway 18/36 is the single runway at AAO, and the print draws it as a single strip with no crossing pavement.

How long is the runway at AAO?

6,101 feet long and 100 feet wide, with a concrete surface. Those published figures set the proportion of the strip you see on the print.

What is the elevation, and where is the airport?

1,421 feet above sea level, in Wichita, Kansas, near 37.7476 N, 97.2211 W. The elevation and coordinates are printed under the identifier in the lower corner.

What do AAO and the runway numbers mean?

AAO is the airport identifier for Colonel James Jabara, and it is the code used on the artwork. The 18 and 36 painted at each end are the runway ends, numbered from approximate magnetic heading, which is why this field runs close to north and south.

How accurate is the diagram?

The runway, taxiway and apron shapes are plotted from published airport information for this field, including the current charting cycle. It is a design for a wall, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Lighting symbols, pavement markings and signage are examples of what gets left out.

What sizes and finishes does it come in, and does it work as a gift?

Available as a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print or Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order; the download is a file you print yourself. It suits anyone who trained, based an aircraft or logged hours at AAO, and the tall single-runway layout is easy to place in a hallway or office.
