A runway diagram map print of Westover ARB/Metro Airport (CEF), made from the airport's own layout for the place it holds in your life. Choose your colorway and your format: a fine art giclée print on cotton paper, a framed fine art print, a glossy metal print or a digital download.
Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.
Physical products have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request a refund; we may require a return before issuing it.
Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
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.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Springfield/Chicopee'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.

Westover ARB/Metro Airport Runway Diagram Print
Westover ARB/Metro plots as a hard X. Two asphalt runways meet above the middle of the sheet: 05/23 is the long arm at 11,597 by 300 feet, running from the lower left up to the upper right, and it is heavy enough on the page that its 300 foot width reads at a glance. Runway 15/33 is the shorter, thinner arm at 7,085 by 150 feet, coming down from the upper left, crossing 05/23, and stopping short of the right edge. Field elevation is 241 feet, printed under the CEF block in the lower right with the coordinates.
The gray underneath carries the rest of the composition. Taxiways and apron spread down the west side of the long runway, and rows of small buildings step away to the southwest along the flight line, so the drawing is weighted to the left and left open on the right. That imbalance is the reason it hangs well: one long diagonal, one crossing arm, a dense pale field on one flank, and a lot of quiet space everywhere else.
The field was created by a war-readiness appropriation signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 and takes its name from General Oscar Westover. In 1974 the base was turned over to the Air Force Reserve, and the civilian side has been owned and managed by the non-profit Westover Metropolitan Corporation since 1974. The complex borders the Massachusetts Turnpike and is reached by several industrial rail spurs, which is why it is described as intermodal. Pair it with the Westfield sheet for a two-print local wall, or with Albany if you want the run across the region.
Springfield/Chicopee (CEF) print, common questions
How many runways does CEF have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 05/23 measures 11,597 by 300 feet and runway 15/33 measures 7,085 by 150 feet, both asphalt. Both are drawn on the print, crossing above the center of the sheet.
Where is CEF, and what is the code on the print?
CEF is the identifier for Westover ARB/Metro at Springfield/Chicopee, Massachusetts, near 42.1940 N, 72.5348 W. That three letter identifier is the large block set in the lower right of the print.
How high is the field?
241 feet of elevation. It is printed beneath the coordinates so the sheet carries the number rather than leaving you to look it up.
How accurate is the layout compared with the real airport?
The geometry follows published runway data: the crossing pair, the orientation of each runway, and the way 05/23 clearly outruns 15/33 in both length and width. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting, signage and minor pavement edges are among the things left off.
What sizes does it come in?
It is made to order in portrait sizes, and every size keeps the same crop, so the long 05/23 diagonal stays the lead line and the apron mass stays on the left. Pick whichever colorway suits the room; the CEF block, coordinates and elevation sit in the lower right in all of them. Shipping within the US is free.
Is this a good gift for someone connected to Westover?
Yes, particularly for reservists, general aviation pilots who fly out of the field, and anyone who grew up under the pattern in Chicopee. The crossing runways are recognizable from across a room, which is what makes it work as a gift rather than a wall of unreadable detail.
