Ladd AAF Runway Diagram Print

Ladd AAF (FBK) is a one-runway field, and the print draws it that way: runway 07/25, 8,575 ft long and 150 ft wide, on an asphalt and concrete surface at 449 ft of elevation. In the image the runway reads as one long dark bar running left to right across the upper third of the sheet, with the 7 marker at the west end and the 25 marker at the east end. Nothing crosses it. There is no X, no V, no second strip.

What gives the composition its weight is everything around that bar. A pale grid of taxiways runs the full length of the field below the runway, stacked in long parallel lanes and tied together by cross connections, with apron and building shapes filling the lower edge and a band of structures along the top. The dark runway sits as the one high-contrast line in a field of soft grays, so from across a room you read the stripe first and the grid second. The magnetic variation here is 17E, and the near-horizontal set of the runway in the frame gives the piece a calm, level line that hangs well over a desk, a shelf or a doorway.

This is a spare diagram rather than a busy one, which is the point. The identifier FBK, the Fairbanks/Ft Wainwright label, the coordinates and the 449 ft elevation sit in the lower right as quiet type, so the artwork stays legible at small sizes and still holds up large. It pairs naturally with other interior Alaska fields, including the one at Delta Junction, if you are building a wall of them.

Fairbanks/Fort Wainwright (FBK) print, common questions

How many runways does Ladd AAF have?

One. Runway 07/25 is the only runway at the field, and it is the single dark line you see on the print.

How long is the runway at FBK?

Runway 07/25 is 8,575 ft long and 150 ft wide, with an asphalt and concrete surface.

Where is FBK, and what does the code mean?

FBK is the identifier for Ladd AAF at Fairbanks/Fort Wainwright, Alaska, near 64.8376 N, 147.6145 W. The three letters are the airport identifier used in flight planning and charts, and they are the large type on the artwork. The field elevation is 449 ft.

How accurate is the layout on this print?

The runway, taxiways, aprons and building footprints are plotted from published airport information, so runway 07/25 sits at its published orientation and proportion relative to the rest of the field. It is a design piece, not a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what is left out.

What sizes and finishes can I get?

The FBK artwork is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose; the digital option is a file you download.

Does this work as a gift?

Yes. It suits anyone with a connection to Fairbanks or to this field: a pilot, a controller, someone who worked the ramp, or someone who just wants a clean piece of Alaska on the wall. The long single stripe of 07/25 makes it recognizable to anyone who knows the airport.
