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 Blythe'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.

Blythe Airport Runway Diagram Print

Blythe Airport prints as a cross. Runway 8/26 runs the full width of the sheet, 6,543 by 150 feet of asphalt, and 17/35 drops through it from the top of the frame at 5,800 by 100 feet. The crossing point is not centered: it sits low and left, so the 17 end runs long above the intersection while 35 finishes in a short stub below it. That one asymmetry is what keeps the composition from looking like a plus sign stamped on a page.

The field has history under it. Blythe Airport was established by the Civil Aeronautics Administration in the late 1930s as an emergency landing field on the Los Angeles to Phoenix airway, and a commercial airport opened in 1940. During the Second World War it was known as Blythe Army Air Field and was used by the United States Army Air Forces, with the 85th Bombardment Group and the 390th Bombardment Group active there in 1942 and 1943. A modern airport was later built on the site of the former wartime airfield. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011 through 2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility.

On a wall, the weight sits where the pavement is. Two black strips carry the eye; the taxiway loops and apron fill the lower right quadrant in a lighter tone, which leaves the upper half of the print almost entirely open. The identifier block, coordinates and the 400 foot elevation line sit in the bottom corner, small enough to read as a caption rather than a headline. The airport map print for Imperial can hang beside this one, and so can the print for Yuma.

Blythe (BLH) print, common questions

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

Two, and both are in the print. Runway 8/26 is 6,543 by 150 feet, and runway 17/35 is 5,800 by 100 feet. Both are asphalt, and 6,543 feet is the longest runway on the field.

What does BLH mean?

BLH is the identifier for Blythe Airport in Blythe, California, and it is the code set in the corner of the artwork. The airport is seven miles west of Blythe, in Riverside County.

What is the field elevation, and what coordinates are on the print?

Field elevation is 400 feet. The coordinates printed under the identifier are 33.6192 degrees N, 114.7169 degrees W, and the magnetic variation at the field is 13E.

How accurate is the diagram to the published layout?

The runway strips, their designators and their relative lengths and angles are plotted from published airport information for the 2610 data cycle, effective 2026-09-03. This is artwork at wall scale, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting symbols and signage are examples of what gets left out.

What sizes and finishes can I order?

The Blythe diagram is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print and a Glossy Metal Print, each made to order in the colorway you choose, plus a Digital Download if you want the file itself. Size options are listed on the product page.

Does this work as a gift?

It does, especially for someone with a connection to Blythe or to the general aviation flying done there. The cross of 8/26 and 17/35 is specific to this field, so the piece reads as a personal landmark rather than generic aviation decor.
