The field itself

This is Denver'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.

Colorado Air and Space Port Runway Diagram Print

Colorado Air and Space Port works two asphalt runways of almost the same length, and the print is built on the right angle between them. Runway 8/26 is 8,002 by 100 feet and lies across the upper part of the sheet, the 8 numerals at its west end and 26 at its east end, with a parallel taxiway shadowing it below and broken into segments by a row of connectors. Runway 17/35 is 8,000 by 100 feet and drops straight down the right side, starting east of the other runway's far end, so the two lines never meet on the page. Hangar rows and apron blocks gather beneath the middle of 8/26, and the lower left of the sheet is left open. Field elevation is 5,515 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 8E, so the plotted headings sit several degrees off true north.

The field opened in 1984 as Front Range Airport, in unincorporated Adams County, while Stapleton International was the major air hub for the Denver metropolitan area. Runway 8/26 opened for service that year and 17/35 followed in 1985, which is why the print reads as two separate strips rather than a crossing pair. It ran without a control tower until 2005, when the tallest general aviation control tower in the United States opened along with full air traffic control service. The Front Range Airport Authority owned the field until January 1, 2014, when the authority was dissolved and the airport and its staff were folded into Adams County government as a department. The mailing address uses the postal designation of Watkins, the unincorporated community next door.

The State of Colorado applied in 2011 to have the field certified as a spaceport for horizontal takeoff and landing, and the designation was approved in 2018, when Adams County renamed it Colorado Air and Space Port and the identifier changed from FTG to CFO. In December 2017 the British aerospace company Reaction Engines began building a high temperature airflow test facility on the property. In 2019 the field recorded 75,647 aircraft operations, an average of 207 a day, with 292 aircraft based there, most of them single engine. Flat plains and cheaper rental rates have made it a working field for flight schools, clubs and kit builders rather than a terminal stop.

On the wall the layout is left to speak plainly. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose, and the open ground in the lower half of the sheet carries as much of the composition as the pavement does. It is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, printed to order, and not a navigation document. For anyone putting together Colorado fields, it hangs well next to the Colorado Springs diagram.

Denver (CFO) print, common questions

How many runways does Colorado Air and Space Port have?

Two, and they are within a couple of feet of each other in length. Runway 8/26 is 8,002 by 100 feet and runway 17/35 is 8,000 by 100 feet, both asphalt. On the print they sit at right angles without crossing, one along the top and one down the right side.

What is the longest runway at CFO, and how high is the field?

Runway 8/26 at 8,002 feet, just ahead of 17/35 at 8,000 feet. Field elevation is 5,515 feet above sea level, which is printed in the margin with the coordinates.

What does CFO stand for and where is the airport?

CFO is the identifier for Colorado Air and Space Port, a public airport in unincorporated Adams County, Colorado, adjacent to Aurora and about six miles southeast of Denver International Airport. The airport has no IATA designation, and it was called Front Range Airport until 2018.

Why is an airport called a space port?

The State of Colorado applied in 2011 to have the field certified for horizontal takeoff and landing spaceflight, and that designation was approved in 2018. Horizontal launch uses ordinary runways rather than a vertical pad, so the two strips on this print are the same pavement such flights would use.

How closely does the print follow the real airfield?

The runway designators, their lengths and widths, and the right angle geometry between 8/26 and 17/35 are drawn from the airport's published layout. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.

What sizes are available, and does this work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on the ground tone you pick at checkout. It lands well with anyone who learned to fly out on the plains east of the city, keeps a kit build in one of the hangar rows, or follows the commercial space business in Colorado.
