The field itself

This is Aurora'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.

Buckley Space Force Base Runway Diagram Print

Buckley Space Force Base has one runway, 14/32, and the print hands it the entire page. In the rendered artwork the strip runs as a single dark diagonal from the upper left down to the lower right, numbered 14 at the top end and 32 at the bottom. Nothing crosses it. There is no second strip, no V, no X, just one long line set at an angle against an empty field, which is why this one reads more like a drawn stroke than a diagram.

The published dimensions are 11,006 ft by 150 ft, surface code PEM, and the field elevation is 5,663 ft, printed under the identifier in the lower corner along with the coordinates. Magnetic variation here is 8E. What the drawing adds around that single runway is the pale grey infrastructure: an apron and building cluster off the left side near the 14 end, a taxiway spine reaching east to a short stub, and a long parallel taxiway that hugs the lower half of the runway and rejoins it near 32. That grey scaffolding is what keeps the composition from being a bare stripe.

As a wall piece, the diagonal is the whole argument. A single 11,006 ft runway plotted on the bias gives you a strong directional line across the frame, with weight low and right where the 32 end and the identifier block sit, and open space top right. It hangs well in a vertical slot, a stairwell or a narrow wall beside a door, and the negative space means it sits quietly next to busier fields. For anyone collecting the airports around Denver, Aurora's field is the calm one in the group.

Aurora (BKF) print, common questions

How many runways does Buckley Space Force Base have?

One. Runway 14/32 is the only runway at BKF, and it is the single diagonal line you see on the print. The published surface code is PEM.

How long is the runway at BKF?

Runway 14/32 is 11,006 ft long and 150 ft wide. That length is why the strip spans nearly the full height of the artwork instead of sitting compact in the middle.

How high is the field, and where is it?

Field elevation is 5,663 ft. The airport is in Aurora, Colorado, at 39.7018 N, 104.7520 W, and both the elevation and the coordinates are printed under the identifier.

What do BKF and KBKF mean?

BKF is the three letter identifier for Buckley Space Force Base and it is what appears in large type on the artwork. KBKF is the four letter code for the same field. The print uses BKF only.

How accurate is the layout on this print?

The runway, taxiways and apron shapes are plotted from published runway data for BKF, so orientation, proportion and relative position follow the published layout. This is a design piece rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.

What formats does it come in, and does it work as a gift?

Choose from Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print or Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order; the download is a file. It gives well to anyone with a tie to Aurora or to the field itself, and the single clean diagonal suits a recipient who wants something graphic rather than fussy.
