The field itself

This is Erie'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.

Erie International/Tom Ridge Field Runway Diagram Print

Erie International/Tom Ridge Field works two asphalt runways, and the print is organized around the long one: 6/24 at 8,420 by 150 feet, a diagonal spine that climbs from the lower left of the sheet to the upper right. Runway 2/20, 3,508 by 150 feet, cuts across it at a much steeper angle, and the crossing sits well down toward the 6 threshold instead of in the middle, so most of the shorter strip runs off to the north of the intersection. Field elevation is 732 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 10W. Apron, terminal and rows of small T hangars gather on the west side of that crossing, which packs the fine linework into one corner and leaves the long runway room to stretch.

Flying at Erie started on private ground. In 1924 Roger Griswold bought 22.12 acres about six miles west of the city, at West Lake and Asbury Roads, and opened an airfield that soon had a flight training school on it. When Charles Lindbergh toured the country in 1927 after his transatlantic flight, Erie was chosen for a stopover, but Griswold Field was too small for the Spirit of St. Louis and a flyover had to do. That prompted the city council to look at building a municipal airport. Griswold Field closed in 1929, American Airlines began airline service on June 15, 1938, and the passenger terminal building opened in 1958 and has been expanded and upgraded several times since. The extension of runway 6/24 opened on November 8, 2012, about two years ahead of schedule after a mild winter let construction run.

The field lies five miles southwest of Erie, in Millcreek Township, and covers 450 acres, which is part of why the layout fits a frame without the geometry crowding itself. Three other airports sit within about three hours by car: 97 miles to the Buffalo airport, 113 miles to the Cleveland airport and 137 miles to the Pittsburgh airport. The Tom Ridge half of the name honors an Erie native who served as governor of Pennsylvania and as United States Secretary of Homeland Security. On the print, runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, while 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 rather than a navigation document, printed to order at a size that reads from across a room and rewards a closer look.

Erie (ERI) print, common questions

How many runways does Erie International/Tom Ridge Field have?

Two. Runway 6/24 is 8,420 by 150 feet and runway 2/20 is 3,508 by 150 feet, both asphalt. On the print they cross at a steep angle down near the southwest end of the long runway.

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

The longest runway is 6/24 at 8,420 feet. Field elevation is 732 feet above sea level, and that figure is set in the margin of the print.

What does ERI stand for and where is the airport?

ERI is the IATA code for Erie International/Tom Ridge Field, five miles southwest of Erie in Millcreek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, at roughly 42.08 north, 80.17 west.

Who is the Tom Ridge the airport is named for?

Tom Ridge is an Erie native who served as governor of Pennsylvania and then as United States Secretary of Homeland Security. The airport carries his name alongside Erie International.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

Runway designators, lengths, widths and the crossing geometry between the two runways come from 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 can I get, and does this work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It suits anyone who learned to fly out of Erie, worked the field, or has flown the short hop over Lake Erie country.
