The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.

Dimensions

Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Forest City'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.

Forest City Municipal/Trimble Field Runway Diagram Print

FXY draws as a lopsided cross. Runway 15/33 runs corner to corner down the sheet at 5,796 feet long and 100 feet wide, while 09/27 lies almost flat across it at 2,707 feet by 60 feet. The two meet close to the 15 and 27 ends, so the crossing point sits high on the page and the long diagonal falls away toward the 33 end through open paper.

Both runways are asphalt, and the print keeps them as solid bars with the end numbers set in small type at each threshold: 15, 33, 9, 27. A cluster of taxiway and apron shapes gathers off the 15 end, the one dense area in the composition, and it gives the eye a starting point before the long run downhill. The ident, the coordinates and the elevation of 1229 feet sit quietly in the lower corner.

What makes this one work at wall size is the imbalance. A single strip can read as a dash and a symmetrical pair can read as a ladder, but a 5,796 foot diagonal pinned by a 2,707 foot crossbar near one end has motion in it, and the empty field below the crossing is a large part of the picture rather than a gap to apologise for. It is composed from published airport information, so the angle between the two runways is the angle the diagram publishes. In the colorway you choose, the long bar is the first thing anyone sees from across a room. A print of Mason City can hang beside this one.

Forest City (FXY) print, common questions

How many runways does FXY have, and how big are they?

Two. Runway 15/33 is 5,796 feet long and 100 feet wide, and runway 09/27 is 2,707 feet long and 60 feet wide. Both are asphalt, and both appear on the print with their end numbers.

What is the longest runway at Forest City Municipal/Trimble Field?

Runway 15/33, at 5,796 feet. It is the long diagonal that carries the composition from the upper area of the print down to the lower right.

Where is FXY, and how high is it?

Forest City, Iowa, at 43.234757 degrees north and 93.624104 degrees west. Field elevation is 1229 feet, and that figure is printed on the artwork.

What do the codes FXY and KFXY mean?

FXY is the identifier used for Forest City Municipal/Trimble Field, and KFXY is its four letter ICAO form. The artwork carries FXY, which is the code most people recognise on a wall.

How accurate is the diagram to the published layout?

The runways, their crossing angle and their relative lengths are plotted from published airport information, so 15/33 and 09/27 sit as the published data places them. This is artwork for a wall rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and minor service roads are the sort of thing left out.

Which formats does this come in, and does it work as a gift?

It is available as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download. The physical pieces are made to order. It reads well as a gift for anyone with a connection to Forest City, since the ident and coordinates identify the field without needing a caption.
