The field itself

This is Dallas'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

Addison Airport Runway Diagram Print

Addison Airport works one runway, and the print is built on that single line: 16/34, 7,203 by 100 feet of asphalt, running north northwest to south southeast down the sheet with its designator block set at each end. Field elevation is 644 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 3E, so the plotted heading sits close to true north. What gives the composition its balance is where everything else went. The taxiways, aprons and hangar rows mass along the east side of the pavement in a dense band of rectangles, while the west side stays largely open, holding a parallel taxiway and a turnaround loop at the north end.

The field opened in 1954 and was bought by the town of Addison in 1976, but it began as a specific bet on business flying. In 1955 Guy Dennis sold his farm north of the old railway depot to W.T. Overton, a 28 year old businessman from Dallas, who announced in January 1956 that he would build an airfield designed for business jets, then a new idea. Overton and his partners picked the site because Civil Aeronautics Administration figures showed more aircraft owners in Texas than in any state except California, with the largest cluster of them in Dallas County. Groundbreaking came on March 16, 1957, and the airport held its grand opening that October 18.

The runway carried the numbers 15/33 for most of the field's life; the designation was changed to 16/34 in 2022, which is what this diagram reads. The airport covers 368 acres and serves the metroplex spread between Dallas and Fort Worth, and it stays busy: in the year ending September 30, 2023, it recorded 119,065 aircraft operations, an average of 326 a day, with 576 aircraft based there. That traffic is the reason the east side of the drawing is so crowded with buildings.

As art the layout is left to speak plainly. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, and taxiways, apron edges and hangar footprints are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. A one runway field can print thin, but here the hangar mass on one flank carries the weight while the long strip cuts through it clean. 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 across a room and rewards a close look.

Dallas (ADS) print, common questions

How many runways does Addison Airport have?

One. Runway 16/34 is 7,203 by 100 feet and it is asphalt. On the print it runs nearly the full height of the sheet, angled slightly, with the taxiway and hangar geometry gathered along one side of it.

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

The only runway, 16/34, is also the longest at 7,203 feet. Field elevation is 644 feet above sea level, and that figure is set in the margin of the print.

What does ADS stand for and where is the airport?

ADS is the IATA code for Addison Airport, a public field in Addison, in Dallas County, Texas, about 9 miles north of downtown Dallas, at roughly 32.97 north, 96.84 west.

Why does the diagram read 16 and 34?

It was designated 15/33 for decades, and in 2022 the designation was changed to 16/34. The print carries the 16/34 numbering from the airport's published figures.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

The runway designators, lengths, widths and the layout of the taxiways and hangar rows around them 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 a range of sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It suits anyone who trained at Addison, keeps an aircraft on the field, or has spent time in the hangar rows along the east side of the runway.
