The field itself

This is Allentown'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.

Lehigh Valley International Airport Runway Diagram Print

Lehigh Valley International Airport works two asphalt runways that cross each other, so the print is an X: 06/24, the long one at 7,599 by 150 feet, runs southwest to northeast, and 13/31 at 5,800 by 150 feet cuts across it from northwest to southeast. The intersection sits in the southwestern half of both strips rather than at the middle, which opens up the wide eastern wedge between them for the apron and its taxiway loops, with a run of buildings at the northern end of the field and another line of them along the southern edge. Field elevation is 394 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 12W, so the plotted headings sit west of true north.

The field opened in 1929, and scheduled airline flights began in 1935, back when the hangar was doing duty as the passenger terminal; the first terminal building went up in 1938 as a Works Progress Administration project. During World War II the Navy ran its V-5 flight training program here, with ground training held at nearby Muhlenberg College, and about 1,000 naval aviation cadets were trained in 1943. A staff diagram from October 1946 shows a field that would not draw the same way at all: four runways arranged like an asterisk, instead of the two that survived. The terminal that stands on the field was begun in 1973 and finished in 1976.

Two more entries in the airport's record are worth having in mind while looking at the linework. In May 2016 Solar Impulse 2 landed here with Bertrand Piccard flying, closing the 13th leg of the first fuel-less flight around the world, and Andre Borschberg took the next leg out toward New York a few weeks later. And until 2020, one of the shortest scheduled jet flights in the contiguous United States ran the 55 miles between this field and Philadelphia International, about twenty minutes in the air, shorter than the drive.

As art, the layout is left to speak plainly. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, and taxiways, apron edges and building footprints are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. The airport covers 2,278 acres, and one taxiway trails off the southwest corner to an apron set apart from the rest of the field, which gives the composition a tail below the X. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions rather than a navigation document, printed to order at a size that reads from across a room and rewards a closer look.

Allentown (ABE) print, common questions

How many runways does Lehigh Valley International Airport have?

Two, and they cross. Runway 06/24 is 7,599 by 150 feet and runway 13/31 is 5,800 by 150 feet, both asphalt, and the print shows them meeting in an X southwest of the apron.

What is the longest runway at ABE, and how high is the field?

Runway 06/24 at 7,599 feet is the longer of the two. Field elevation is 394 feet above sea level, set in the margin of the print with the coordinates.

What does ABE stand for and where is the airport?

ABE is the IATA code for Lehigh Valley International Airport, formerly named for Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton, the three cities it sits among. The field is in Hanover Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, about 7 miles northeast of Allentown, at roughly 40.65 north, 75.44 west.

Which way do the runways run?

Runway 06/24 runs southwest to northeast and runway 13/31 runs northwest to southeast, so the two meet in the southwestern half of the field. Magnetic variation is 12W, and the designators printed at the runway ends follow the published figures.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

The runway designators, lengths, widths and the angle between the two strips come from published airport information for the field. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.

What sizes can I get, and does this work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It lands well with anyone who has flown out of the Lehigh Valley, worked a shift on the ramp there, or learned to fly in eastern Pennsylvania.
