The field itself

This is Glens Falls'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.

Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport Runway Diagram Print

GFL has two runways, and the print builds its whole composition out of how unevenly they meet. Runway 1/19, 5,000 by 150 feet, stands almost vertical on the sheet and runs nearly the full height of the image. The shorter strip, 12/30 at 3,999 by 100 feet, enters from the upper left on a diagonal and crosses the long runway low, well below the midpoint, so the pair reads as a lopsided cross rather than a tidy X. Taxiways, aprons and hangar rows are massed in gray along the right side, which leaves the left half of the sheet almost entirely open.

The field itself is county-owned and public-use, in Warren County, about three nautical miles northeast of the central business district of Glens Falls, in the town of Queensbury. Ground was broken at the current site in 1941, a few miles east of where the county's only airport had been, on what are now the grounds of Queensbury High School. It is named in honor of Floyd Bennett and was formerly known as Warren County Airport. The annual Adirondack Balloon Festival is held at this airport, which is how a lot of people in the region first learn the shape of the place.

There is real equipment behind the plain black bars: runway 1 is served by an instrument landing system and a medium intensity approach lighting system with runway alignment lights, GPS-based instrument approaches are available to all four runway ends, and a VORTAC sits on the field. None of that shows on the wall. What shows is two bars, a gray cluster of buildings, and quiet space. Hung as a set with other upstate diagrams, Albany and Schenectady among them, the off-center crossing here is the one that keeps catching the eye.

Composed and plotted from published airport information, in the colorway you choose.

Glens Falls (GFL) print, common questions

How many runways does GFL have, and how long are they?

Two. Runway 1/19 is 5,000 by 150 feet, and runway 12/30 is 3,999 by 100 feet. Both are asphalt. In the print, 1/19 is the long near-vertical bar and 12/30 is the diagonal that crosses it low.

Where is Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport?

In Warren County, New York, roughly three nautical miles northeast of downtown Glens Falls, in the town of Queensbury. The field elevation is 328 feet, and that figure is printed under the coordinates on the sheet.

What does GFL stand for?

GFL is the airport's identifier, keyed to Glens Falls, the city it serves. It is set large at the lower right of the print, with the city, state, coordinates and elevation stacked beneath it.

How accurate is the diagram?

The runway layout, lengths and widths follow published runway data for GFL, so the crossing angle and the length difference between the two strips are what you see on the sheet. It is a print, not a chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and minor service roads are examples of what gets left out.

What sizes are available?

Several print sizes, in portrait format to suit the tall north-south run of runway 1/19, and a range of finishes. Whichever colorway you choose, the geometry is identical; only the palette changes.

Is this a good gift for a pilot who flies out of Glens Falls?

It works well for anyone with time at the field: student pilots, based aircraft owners, balloon festival regulars. The layout is recognizable at a glance to anyone who has taxied there, which is most of the point.
