The field itself

This is Lake Charles'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.

Chennault International Airport Runway Diagram Print

Chennault International works one runway, 15/33, published at 10,702 feet long and 200 feet wide on a concrete surface, and the print hands that single strip the entire sheet. It reads as one dark diagonal bar falling from upper left to lower right, numbered 15 at the top end and 33 at the bottom. Nothing crosses it. There is no V, no X, no second strip splitting your attention, just a long line held at a steady angle against open paper. The source article notes this main runway is among the longest along the Gulf Coast, and at print scale that length is the whole composition.

The supporting geometry is what keeps the page from going quiet. A taxiway runs alongside the runway for most of its length and swells into a wide apron near the middle, while a row of hangar blocks sits angled off to the upper left, forming a wedge that leans against the runway line rather than squaring up to it. Small pale shapes scatter between them. The caption block carries the identifier, the coordinates and the field elevation of 17 feet, which is about as close to sea level as a large airfield gets. The result is asymmetric on purpose: weight in the upper left, one long stroke running away to the corner.

The ground has history in it. The field began as Lake Charles Army Airfield and was later renamed for Claire Chennault, the aviator who commanded the Flying Tigers during the Second World War, and the airport covers 1,310 acres in Calcasieu Parish. Since 1963, after the Air Force base inactivated, it has run as a public aerospace and industrial complex serving business flying, general aviation and aviation maintenance, and it was named Louisiana's Airport of the Year in 2021. Set beside prints of nearby fields such as Lafayette or Alexandria, the contrast is immediate: those diagrams braid several strips together, while this one is a single confident line.

Lake Charles (CWF) print, common questions

How many runways does Chennault International have?

One. Runway 15/33 is the only runway, published at 10,702 feet long and 200 feet wide with a concrete surface, and the print shows it as a single uncrossed diagonal.

How long is the runway at CWF?

10,702 feet, which is also the longest runway figure for the field since there is only one. The source article describes it as among the longest along the Gulf Coast.

Where is CWF and how high is the field?

Lake Charles, Louisiana, in Calcasieu Parish, at roughly 30.2106 degrees north and 93.1432 degrees west. Field elevation is 17 feet, printed in the caption block.

What does CWF mean on the print?

CWF is the airport identifier for Chennault International. It is the code set in large type at the bottom of the sheet, with the city, state, coordinates and elevation stacked beneath it.

How accurate is the diagram?

The runway, taxiway and apron shapes are plotted from published airport information, so the angle of 15/33 and its relationship to the apron and hangar row follow the published layout. It is a print, not a navigation chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, markings and lighting are not shown, and it should never be used for flight.

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

Several print sizes and a range of background colorways are offered, and each one is made to order with free US shipping. It suits anyone tied to Lake Charles aviation, a maintenance or airshow crowd, or a pilot who has worked that long single runway.
