Materials

Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.

Dimensions

Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Bedford'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.

Virgil I Grissom Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print

Virgil I Grissom Municipal (BFR) reads as a long X on the page. Runway 13/31, 4,501 feet by 100 feet, runs from the upper left down toward the lower right, and runway 06/24, 3,089 feet by 70 feet, cuts across it from lower left to upper right. The two meet close to the 31 and 24 ends, so the intersection sits low and right of center instead of in the middle of the frame. Both runways are concrete, and the field sits at 727 feet.

That off-center crossing is what makes the composition work. A parallel taxiway shadows 13/31 along its upper side, wraps around the 31 end and runs east to a small apron with hangars, the only cluster of fine detail in an otherwise open frame. Runway centerlines, the taxiway and the apron are plotted from published airport information, and the caption block carries BFR, Bedford, Indiana, the coordinates and an elevation of 727 feet. The numbers 13 and 6 mark the far thresholds, while 31 and 24 sit close together near the crossing.

It is a small-field piece rather than a sprawling hub, which is part of why it hangs well in a hallway, an office or a pilot's study, alone or paired with a nearby field such as Bloomington or Columbus. Magnetic variation at the field is listed as 4W, the kind of quiet detail that separates a plotted airport diagram from generic wall decor. Whatever colorway you choose, the two strips stay the loudest element in the frame.

Bedford (BFR) print, common questions

How many runways does BFR have, and how are they arranged?

Two. Runway 13/31 is the longer of the pair at 4,501 feet by 100 feet, and runway 06/24 measures 3,089 feet by 70 feet. In the print they cross in an X, with the intersection sitting near the 31 and 24 ends rather than at the midpoint.

How long is the longest runway at Virgil I Grissom Municipal?

4,501 feet, which is runway 13/31 at 100 feet wide. Both runways at the field are concrete.

Where is BFR, and what is the field elevation?

BFR is at Bedford, Indiana, near 38.840028 N and 86.445361 W, at an elevation of 727 feet. Those coordinates and the elevation are printed in the caption block under the identifier.

What does the code BFR mean on this print?

BFR is the three-letter identifier for Virgil I Grissom Municipal at Bedford, Indiana. It is the code set in large type at the lower right of the artwork, above the city, state, coordinates and elevation.

How closely does the artwork follow the published layout?

The runway designators, their relative lengths and the angle at which 13/31 and 06/24 cross are plotted from published airport information for the 2610 data cycle. This is a graphic composition rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Approach lighting, pavement markings and signage are examples of what is left out.

What formats does this BFR airport map print come in, and does it work as a gift?

It is available as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order and the digital option is a file. For anyone who trained, flew or worked out of Bedford, the identifier and the crossing runways make it read as a specific place rather than a generic aviation image.
