The field itself

This is Pittsburgh'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.

Allegheny County Airport Runway Diagram Print

Allegheny County Airport draws as two concrete runways: 10/28 at 6,501 by 150 feet, and 13/31 at 3,825 by 100 feet. On the print the long one runs almost flat across the sheet, with 10 labeled at the left edge and 28 at the right. The shorter one drops in from the upper left and cuts through it well right of center, so the pair reads as a shallow, lopsided X instead of a tidy cross. That off balance intersection is what gives the composition its tension, and it is the first thing your eye finds from across a room.

The field itself is older than most of what surrounds it. It was dedicated in 1931, and when it was completed it was the third largest airport in the country and the only hard surface airport in the country. The terminal went up the same year to a design by Stanley L. Roush, with 1936 additions by Henry Hornbostel in white brick touched with black, silver and green. Early aviators Wiley Post and Harold Gatty looked the place over as construction was finishing and said it was the finest airport they had encountered. It stayed the main air entrance to metro Pittsburgh until 1952, when Greater Pittsburgh Airport opened for commercial aviation, and in 1981 the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation added it to their list of historic landmarks. Built before jet airliners, it can still take aircraft up to a DC-9.

Below the runways sits the part of the drawing people linger on: a long grey band of taxiways, aprons and hangar rows strung along the south side, packed tightest through the middle where the terminal and its ramps sit. A third runway, 5/23, was announced for closure in 2004, which is part of why the field here reads as two strong strokes over a busy edge of buildings rather than a web. At larger sizes those hangar outlines stay legible; at smaller sizes the two runways carry the whole piece on their own, in whichever colorway you choose. Hung beside the diagrams for Latrobe or Johnstown, this one is the dense, historic member of a western Pennsylvania wall.

Pittsburgh (AGC) print, common questions

How many runways does AGC have, and how do they sit on the print?

Two. Runway 10/28 is 6,501 by 150 feet and runway 13/31 is 3,825 by 100 feet, both concrete. In the drawing the long 10/28 runs nearly horizontally across the sheet and 13/31 slices down across it on a diagonal, meeting right of center.

What is the longest runway at Allegheny County Airport?

6,501 feet. That is runway 10/28, 150 feet wide and concrete, and it is the anchor line of the whole composition.

Where is AGC, and how high is the field?

The airport sits at 40.3544 degrees north, 79.9290 degrees west, at an elevation of 1,252 feet. It is in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, about 7 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The coordinates and elevation are printed under the identifier in the lower corner.

What does AGC refer to?

AGC is the identifier for Allegheny County Airport in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and it is the large type on the print. The city, state, coordinates and elevation sit beneath it, so the sheet identifies itself without needing a caption.

How closely does the print follow the published layout?

Runway designators, lengths, widths and their crossing angle are plotted from published runway data for AGC, cycle 2609, so 10/28 and 13/31 relate to each other as the published information describes. It is a print and not a navigation document: fine details such as markings, signage, lighting and smaller pavement edges may be simplified or omitted for legibility.

What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in a range of sizes and in the colorway you choose. It is an easy gift for anyone with a history at this field, a student, an owner with a hangar there, or someone who just likes Pittsburgh landmarks, because the identifier and coordinates make the reference obvious to them and quietly graphic to everyone else.
