Barking Sands PMRF Airport Runway Diagram Print

BKH draws as a single strip. Runway 16/34 is 6,002 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface, and on the sheet it runs almost top to bottom with a slight lean, the numbers 16 and 34 set small at either end. Field elevation is 23 feet, printed under the coordinates in the corner block.

Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands is a U.S. naval facility and airport, five nautical miles northwest of the central business district of Kekaha, in Kauai County. The ground has a long aviation history. In 1921 the land known as the Barking Sands was acquired by the Kekaha Sugar Company and became a runway for private planes, and in 1928 the record-setting Australian aviator Charles Kingsford Smith took off from a sandy runway here with his four-man crew to fly non-stop to Fiji. The U.S. Army acquired the land in 1940, named it Mana Airport and paved the runway. In 1964 the site was transferred to the Navy, becoming Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands.

As art, the restraint is the whole appeal. One dark line carries the composition, a pale chain of taxiway and apron trails off the 16 end toward the upper corner as its only counterweight, and the rest of the sheet stays open. That makes it an easy hang in a hallway or over a desk, where the lean of the strip does more work than any amount of detail would. It also sits well next to another island field, Lihue included, in the colorway you choose.

Kekaha,Kauai (BKH) print, common questions

How many runways does BKH have?

One. Runway 16/34 measures 6,002 feet by 150 feet with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway on the diagram.

How high is the field?

23 feet above sea level. The figure is printed in the corner block beside the coordinates, so the number is part of the artwork rather than a caption you have to look up.

Where is Barking Sands PMRF?

On Kauai in Hawaii. The source article places the facility five nautical miles northwest of the central business district of Kekaha, in Kauai County.

What is BKH on this print?

BKH is the identifier for Barking Sands PMRF, and it is set as the title at lower right. Three letters plus the city line are what make the sheet readable from across a room.

How accurate is the layout?

The diagram is plotted from published airport information for charting cycle 2610, so runway 16/34 appears at its published orientation, length and width relative to the taxiway and apron shapes. This is a design piece, not a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and small structures are the usual examples.

Which formats work best for a gift?

Choose from Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print or Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order; the digital option is a file. For anyone who has flown, worked or served at this field on Kauai, the framed option needs no assembly on the recipient's end.
