The field itself

This is Cheyenne'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.

Cheyenne Regional/Jerry Olson Field Runway Diagram Print

Cheyenne Regional Airport sits 6,160 feet above sea level, and the print carries that figure in the margin beside a layout of two runways. Runway 09/27 is 9,270 by 150 feet and runs almost due west to east, taking the full width of the sheet. Runway 13/31, 6,690 by 150 feet, comes down from the northwest and crosses it at the western end, so close to the 09 threshold that the two markings nearly touch. The intersection is pushed hard to one side, which leaves the eastern length of 09/27 running out on its own beside a parallel taxiway, and that long empty stretch is what gives the composition its stretch. Magnetic variation is 10E, so the plotted headings sit well off true north. Ramps, hangars and the terminal gather north and west of the crossing, and the rest of the field is quiet line.

Cheyenne's aviation began with the mail. Buck Heffron flew the first air mail flight out of Cheyenne to Salt Lake City on September 8, 1920, in a DH-4 that could barely climb high enough to clear the mountains, and by the later 1920s the city was an important crossroads for mail and passenger flights on a transcontinental route between San Francisco and New York, as well as on a north to south route down to Pueblo, Colorado. Cheyenne was chosen over Denver for the transcontinental line because of the peaks immediately west of Denver. Boeing Air Transport flew the route first, and by the early 1930s it had merged with three other carriers to form United Air Lines. Colorado Airlines had already run south from Cheyenne to Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo starting in 1926, and Wyoming Air Service headed north to Casper, Sheridan and Billings from 1931.

United left deep marks on the field. The Boeing and United Airlines terminal building, hangar and fountain, built between 1929 and 1934, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. During the Second World War the airport was a completion and modification center for B-17s, and the bomber's tail turret is known as the Cheyenne turret because it was invented here. United maintained its DC-3s at Cheyenne and had 1,400 employees based locally in 1946, and until 1961 the airport was the company's stewardess training center, drawing trainees from across the country. Charles Lindbergh put down here in the Spirit of St. Louis, and so did Amelia Earhart. The altitude has drawn engineering work too: manufacturers have brought new jetliners to Cheyenne for testing, among them Embraer's E-170 and E-190 and Boeing's 737-900, 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX.

The field covers 1,060 acres and its present passenger terminal opened in November 2018. On the print, runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, and taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. It is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, printed to order at a size that reads from across a room and holds together up close.

Cheyenne (CYS) print, common questions

How many runways does Cheyenne Regional Airport have?

Two. Runway 09/27 is 9,270 by 150 feet and is concrete; runway 13/31 is 6,690 by 150 feet and is asphalt. Both are on the print at their plotted angles.

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

Runway 09/27, at 9,270 feet. Field elevation is 6,160 feet above sea level, which is the number set in the margin of the print with the coordinates.

Where do the two runways cross?

Near the western end of runway 09/27, right by the 09 threshold, rather than in the middle of the field. The print keeps that offset, which is what leaves the long open run of pavement to the east.

Where is CYS and what is Jerry Olson Field?

CYS is the IATA code for Cheyenne Regional Airport, also known as Jerry Olson Field, a civil and military airport a mile north of downtown Cheyenne in Laramie County, Wyoming, at roughly 41.16 north, 104.81 west.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

Runway designators, lengths, widths and the angle between the two runways follow published airport information for the field. 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 there, and does this work as a gift?

Several sizes and finishes, made to order, on a ground tone you choose at checkout. It reads well for anyone who flew the high plains, worked the United hangars, or grew up with Frontier Days and the airfield a mile from downtown.
