Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Gainesville'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.

Gainesville Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print

Gainesville Municipal has two runways, and the print keeps both of them. Runway 18/36 is the long one, 6,000 by 100 feet of asphalt running straight down the sheet. Runway 13/31 is shorter at 4,307 by 75 feet, and it leaves the diagram on a diagonal toward the lower right. The two cross high on the page, near the 18 threshold, so the pair opens downward like a narrow wedge rather than meeting in a tidy X.

That off-center crossing is what makes this one work as wall art. Most of the ink sits in the upper third, then the diagonal falls away across open field, and the taxiways answer it: a lighter gray loop closes the gap between the two runway ends and reads almost as a triangle. Apron, hangars and ramp blocks stack along the west side, small and rectangular against all that empty space. Runway numbers ride inside the black strips, and the field sits at 846 feet, printed under the identifier at the bottom. It is a quiet, asymmetric composition, plotted from published airport information for cycle 2610.

The field is three miles west of Gainesville, in Cooke County, and it started as Gainesville Army Airfield when it opened in 1941, a training base that supplied photographic intelligence for air and ground forces. Scheduled airline flights, Central DC-3s, called here in 1951. Today it is a 1,336 acre general aviation field, which is why the diagram is honest about scale: two strips, a handful of buildings, no terminal sprawl. It hangs well next to busier North Texas fields, whether that is Denton down US 77 or the older ramps at Fort Worth.

Gainesville (GLE) print, common questions

How many runways does GLE have, and how are they arranged?

Two. Runway 18/36 runs straight through the diagram and 13/31 crosses it on a diagonal near the north end, so the two open downward into a narrow wedge with the taxiways closing the space between them.

How long are the runways at Gainesville Municipal?

Runway 18/36 is 6,000 by 100 feet, the longest at the airport. Runway 13/31 is 4,307 by 75 feet. Both are asphalt.

Where is the airport, and how high is it?

It sits three miles west of Gainesville, in Cooke County, Texas, at an elevation of 846 feet. The coordinates are shown in the artwork beneath the code.

How accurate is the diagram?

Runway designators, lengths, widths and relative positions come from published airport information, so 18/36 and 13/31 sit at the angles and proportions the published data gives them. Fine details may be simplified or omitted: this is a print, not a chart, and small markings, signage and minor pavement are left out so the layout stays readable on a wall. Do not use it for navigation.

What does GLE stand for?

GLE is the airport's identifier, the short code used for Gainesville Municipal in published airport information. It is the code set in large type at the bottom of the print.

Does this make a good gift for a pilot?

Yes, especially for someone who learned to fly or keeps an airplane here, because the crossing runways make GLE recognizable at a glance. Several sizes are offered, each made to order in the colorway you choose.
