The field itself

This is Alpena'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.

Alpena County Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print

Alpena County Regional Airport has two concrete runways and the print is built on the long one. Runway 01/19 is 9,001 by 150 feet, a single dark line running almost straight up the sheet from bottom to top. Runway 07/25, 5,028 by 100 feet, comes in from the southwest and crosses it just north of the midpoint, then keeps going northeast well past the crossing, so the shorter runway is very lopsided: a short stub on one side of the intersection and most of its length on the other, reaching out into empty ground. A thin taxiway runs from near the 19 threshold down to the 25 end and closes that reach into a long narrow triangle, which is the detail that makes this layout worth hanging. Field elevation is 690 feet and the magnetic variation is 7W, a westerly variation, so the plotted headings lean the opposite way from the western fields in this catalog.

The airport was founded after the First World War and formally dedicated in 1931. The Army Air Corps used it for training until 1947, when it was handed over to Alpena County, and in 1952 it was assigned to the Air National Guard for training use, which is how a county field in Michigan ended up with 9,001 feet of concrete and a layout sized for military aircraft. It is a county owned, public use, joint civil and military airport straddling the line between Maple Ridge Township to the north and Wilson Township to the south. In 2021 the field logged 5,252 aircraft operations, roughly 14 a day, and 44 percent of those were military. Airshows and antique aircraft displays have brought a B-29 Superfortress and a B-24 Liberator through here for the public to walk around.

The passenger side is smaller but not new: terminal upgrades began in the 1990s, Great Lakes Airlines flew to Chicago until 1997, and Northwest Airlines started flights to Detroit that year with its regional partner Mesaba Airlines. Alpena also has a small film credit, since several scenes of Die Hard 2 were shot at the airport, chosen partly for snow that did not fall, so artificial snow had to be trucked in. The airport covers 3,084 acres and the drawing leaves most of that as open ground. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, and the taxiways, aprons and the buildings gathered along the west side are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. It is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, printed to order for pilots, Guard crews and anyone who has flown into Alpena in winter.

Alpena (APN) print, common questions

How many runways does Alpena County Regional Airport have?

Two, both concrete. Runway 01/19 is 9,001 by 150 feet and runway 07/25 is 5,028 by 100 feet. They cross just north of the midpoint of the long runway, close to the west end of the shorter one.

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

Runway 01/19 is the longest at 9,001 feet. Field elevation is 690 feet above sea level, and that figure is printed in the margin.

Where is APN and what does the code stand for?

APN is the IATA code for Alpena County Regional Airport, six nautical miles west of downtown Alpena off M-32, in Alpena County, Michigan, straddling the boundary between Maple Ridge Township and Wilson Township at roughly 45.08 north, 83.56 west.

Why does a county airport have a runway this long?

Military use. The Army Air Corps trained at the field from its dedication in 1931 until 1947, the county took it over that year, and in 1952 it was assigned to the Air National Guard for training. It is a joint civil and military airport, and in 2021 military flying accounted for 44 percent of its 5,252 aircraft operations.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

Runway designators, lengths, widths and the point where the two runways cross follow 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 are there, and does it work as a gift?

It is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you choose at checkout. It suits Guard members who have trained at Alpena, pilots who use the field, and anyone from the county who has watched the airshows.
