Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Fort Worth'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.

Perot Field/Fort Worth Alliance Airport Runway Diagram Print

Perot Field/Fort Worth Alliance works off two parallel concrete runways, and the print is built around that pair. 16R/34L measures 11,125 feet by 150 feet, 16L/34R measures 11,000 feet by 150 feet, and the field sits 723 feet above sea level. Two strips on the same heading, no crossing, no angle between them: the layout is a study in repetition rather than intersection.

On the sheet the runways read as long dark bars tipped a few degrees off vertical, close enough together to look like one wide stroke from across a room and clearly separate when you step in. The thresholds carry their labels, 16R and 16L along the top, 34L and 34R along the bottom. Taxiway loops and apron blocks mass on one side of the pavement in a lighter gray, so the two runways stay the darkest marks on the page, and the rest of the sheet stays open.

The field opened in 1989, developed by the city of Fort Worth with Hillwood Development and billed as the world's first purely industrial airport. That brief still shows in the plan view: long freight runways flanked by cargo aprons instead of passenger piers. American Airlines ran a maintenance base here until 2012, and Amazon Air opened a hub at the airport in 2019. In 1992, Dallas city leaders briefly threatened to block a planned expansion at Alliance, one round in a long argument between the two cities over the Wright Amendment.

A runway and taxiway extension wrapped up in 2018 so heavily loaded cargo aircraft could depart from either runway in hot Texas summer weather and reach Europe without refueling. That is the reason both strips on this print run the full height of the frame, and it is why the drawing carries so well at larger sizes: little clutter, two strong verticals, a lot of quiet paper around them.

Fort Worth (AFW) print, common questions

How many runways does AFW have, and how long are they?

Two, and they are parallel. 16R/34L is 11,125 feet long and 16L/34R is 11,000 feet long. Both are 150 feet wide and both are concrete.

Where is Perot Field/Fort Worth Alliance?

It sits north of Fort Worth, Texas, about 14 miles from the city's central business district, at a field elevation of 723 feet.

What is AFW?

AFW is the identifier for Perot Field/Fort Worth Alliance, and it is the code printed large at the bottom of the sheet with the city, coordinates and elevation set beneath it.

How accurate is the runway layout on this print?

It is drawn to scale from published airport information for the current data cycle, so the relative length, width and spacing of the two parallel runways follow that information. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are the sort of thing that gets left out.

What sizes can I get?

Sizes run from small desk scale up to large statement pieces. The colorway you choose changes the mood of the piece, while the runway geometry stays the same in each.

Does this work as a gift?

It does, particularly for anyone with a connection to the cargo side of North Texas aviation: a freight crew member, a mechanic, a based pilot, or someone who spent years driving out to the field. It reads as a graphic first and an airport diagram second, so it hangs comfortably in an office or a hallway.
