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 Columbus'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.

Columbus AFB Runway Diagram Print

Columbus AFB runs three parallel runways on a single northwest to southeast diagonal, and that is the whole composition. In the print they read as three black bars stacked across the upper field, evenly spaced, all pointing the same way: 13C/31C in the middle at 12,004 feet by 300 feet, 13L/31R above it at 8,001 feet by 150 feet, and 13R/31L below at 6,320 feet by 175 feet. Nothing crosses. Nothing forks. The eye follows one angle from corner to corner.

The three bars are not the same length, and the stagger is what makes the artwork work. The center strip overshoots both neighbors, so the ends of the group form a soft cascade rather than a blunt edge, and the pale taxiway network threads between and around them in a lighter tone. Apron and ramp detail gathers low and to the right, near the 31C end, which gives the empty upper left a lot of quiet to sit in. The label block carries the ident, the city and state, the coordinates and an elevation of 218 feet, a low field in east Mississippi.

Surface matters to how the strips are named on the record even if it does not change the ink: the two outer-to-center pairings 13C/31C and 13L/31R are listed as asphalt and concrete, while 13R/31L is concrete. Plotted from published airport information for Columbus, the diagram is geometry first, so it hangs well as a graphic shape and rewards a second look from anyone who knows what a three-runway parallel field looks like from the air.

If you are building a wall around this part of the state, the same treatment exists for the field at Starkville and for Tupelo, and a row of diagonals at matching scale reads as one deliberate set instead of three separate pictures.

Columbus (CBM) print, common questions

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

Three. The longest is 13C/31C at 12,004 feet by 300 feet. Alongside it sit 13L/31R at 8,001 feet by 150 feet and 13R/31L at 6,320 feet by 175 feet. All three are drawn in the print.

What does CBM mean?

CBM is the identifier for Columbus AFB in Columbus, Mississippi. It is the code set in large type at the bottom of the artwork, with the ICAO form being KCBM.

Where is the airport and how high is it?

It sits in Columbus, Mississippi, at 33.645175 N, 88.445919 W, with a field elevation of 218 feet. The coordinates and elevation are printed under the ident.

How accurate is the diagram?

The runway layout, designators and proportions are plotted from published runway data, so the three parallel strips and their published lengths and widths are in their correct relationships to each other. This is artwork rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Lighting, markings and minor pavement edges are examples of what gets left out.

What sizes and finishes does this come in?

The CBM diagram is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose. The digital option is a file you download.

Does this work as a gift?

It suits anyone with a connection to Columbus or to this field. The three stacked diagonals are legible from across a room, and a pilot or a former resident will recognise the layout immediately, which is usually the reaction the gift is bought for.
