The field itself

This is Westhampton Beach'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

Francis S Gabreski Airport Runway Diagram Print

Francis S. Gabreski Airport works three paved runways, and on the diagram they read as a large X with a third strip laid down its western side. Runway 06/24 is the long one at 9,002 by 150 feet, running southwest to northeast across the whole field. Runway 15/33, 5,002 by 150 feet, comes in from the northwest and crosses it near the middle, which is where the X is made. Runway 01/19 is 5,100 by 150 feet and runs almost due north to south along the west side, clipping 15/33 near its 15 end and 06/24 near its 6 end. Field elevation is 66 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 13W, a westerly figure that sets this field apart from the western airports in the catalog.

The airfield was built in 1943 as Suffolk County Army Air Field, a United States Army Air Forces sub base of Mitchel Field further west on Long Island. Assigned later to First Air Force, the 437th Army Air Force Base Unit defended the area around New York City, about 80 miles to the west, and flew antisubmarine patrols over the Atlantic approaches. After the war the field was conveyed to Suffolk County as a civilian airport, but the transfer carried a reversal clause for future military need, and the Air Force exercised it in 1951, when the field became Suffolk County Air Force Base under the Eastern Air Defense Force.

Interceptors worked from here for most of two decades, and the 52nd Fighter-Interceptor Wing flew from the base under various designations until 1969. Its commander from 1964 until his retirement in November 1967 was Colonel Francis S. Gabreski, a World War II flying ace, and the airport took his name in 1991. The base deactivated in 1969 and went back to the county, then military flying returned in June 1970 when the New York Air National Guard's 102nd Air Refueling Squadron moved in from Floyd Bennett Field with KC-97 Stratofreighters. A Guard helicopter flying from the field was lost during the 1991 storm recounted in The Perfect Storm.

All that use left a busy ground plan, and the print keeps it: a closed taxiway ring around the runway triangle, a comb of short stubs along the eastern side, and the ramp, hangars and terminal buildings gathered on the western edge. The field covers 1,451 acres. 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, printed to order.

Westhampton Beach (FOK) print, common questions

How many runways does Francis S. Gabreski Airport have?

Three. Runway 06/24 is 9,002 by 150 feet, runway 01/19 is 5,100 by 150 feet, and runway 15/33 is 5,002 by 150 feet. On the print, 06/24 and 15/33 form the central X and 01/19 runs north to south down the western side.

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

The longest is 06/24 at 9,002 feet. Field elevation is 66 feet above sea level, which is printed in the margin.

What does FOK stand for and where is the airport?

FOK is the IATA code for Francis S. Gabreski Airport, a county owned joint civil and military field 3 nautical miles north of Westhampton Beach in Suffolk County, New York, near 40.84 north, 72.63 west.

Who was Gabreski, and what was the airport called before?

Colonel Francis S. Gabreski was a World War II flying ace who commanded the 52nd Fighter-Interceptor Wing at this base from 1964 until November 1967. The field was Suffolk County Air Force Base until 1969 and Suffolk County Airport until 1991, when it was renamed for him.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

The runway designators, dimensions and the angles at which the three runways meet 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 are available, and does this work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you choose at checkout. It suits East End pilots, rescue and Guard families, and anyone who spent summers under the pattern out here.
