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 Blackstone'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.

Allan C Perkinson/Blackstone AAF Runway Diagram Print

BKT is a one runway field, and the print treats that runway as the whole composition. Runway 04/22 measures 5,333 by 150 feet of concrete, and it lands on the sheet as a single dark diagonal running from the lower left up to the upper right, with the 04 threshold near the bottom edge and 22 tucked into the top corner. Nothing crosses it. Nothing competes with it.

The rest of the field is drawn pale, which is what gives the print its air. A broad strip of pavement stands almost vertically at the left edge, a second pale strip angles down and to the right from it, and a thin taxiway threads north to an apron, a hangar row and a cluster of small buildings along the top. Read as art, it is a long ink stroke crossing an open field of paper, held in place by soft grey shapes. The corner block carries the identifier, the city and state, the coordinates and the 437 ft field elevation, so the sheet stays readable as a document as well as a graphic.

Blackstone sits in southern Virginia, and the airfield is about two miles east of the town's central business district on roughly 600 acres, owned by the United States Army and the Town of Blackstone. It is named for Allen C. Perkinson, a Civil Air Patrol Virginia Wing Commander in the 1940s. It is a small field with an unhurried diagram, and that restraint is what earns it a spot next to busier Virginia sheets: hang it with a Richmond print or a Lynchburg print and the difference in scale becomes the point of the grouping.

Blackstone (BKT) print, common questions

How many runways does BKT have, and how long are they?

One. Runway 04/22 measures 5,333 by 150 feet with a concrete surface, and it is the only runway drawn in full ink on the print.

Where is BKT?

Blackstone, Virginia, at 37.0747 N, 77.9518 W, roughly two miles east of the Blackstone central business district. Field elevation is 437 ft, and that figure is printed in the corner block.

What does BKT mean?

BKT is the three letter identifier for Allan C Perkinson/Blackstone AAF, the field the diagram is drawn from. Those three letters are the largest type on the sheet.

How accurate is the diagram?

It is plotted from published airport information, so the runway orientation, the 04 and 22 end labels and the proportions of the pavement follow the published layout. It is still a print, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Surface markings, lighting and signage are the usual examples.

What sizes and finishes are available?

Several sizes, from a desk sized piece up to a statement piece, available as a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print (Digital Download available separately). A single runway layout like this one holds up at the smaller sizes because the diagonal stays legible, and the linework reads cleanly against the colorway you choose.

Is this a good gift for someone connected to Blackstone?

It works well for a pilot, a controller or anyone whose flying life ran through this field. The layout is specific enough to be recognized on sight, and the print is made to order, so it arrives new rather than pulled from a shelf.
