The field itself

This is Groton (New London)'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.

Groton-New London Airport Runway Diagram Print

Groton-New London draws as one bold X. Runway 5/23, 5,000 feet long and 150 feet wide, runs from the lower left of the sheet to the upper right, and runway 15/33, 4,000 feet by 96 feet, cuts the other way and crosses it in the lower half of the frame. Both are asphalt. Aprons, hangars and taxiway loops gather in the upper middle, which leaves the bottom of the composition open and lets the crossing read from across a room. Field elevation is 9 feet, set under the identifier with the coordinates.

The field opened in 1929 as the first State of Connecticut airport, originally called Trumbull Airport after Governor Jonathan Trumbull. The Army took it over in 1941, built hard-surfaced runways in 1942 and designated it Groton Army Airfield, and the Navy held it from 1944 until the state got it back in 1946. The present name dates to 1980. US Airways Express, the last scheduled carrier to serve the airport, ended its Groton to Philadelphia route in 2004. The state has continued to operate the field to commercial airport standards in case passenger service comes back, which is part of why the diagram still looks like a small airline airport rather than a country strip.

Southeastern Connecticut is the subject here as much as the airfield. Groton, New London and Mystic all sit inside the area this airport serves, three nautical miles northwest of the runway ends, and presidents have flown in to speak at commencement at the nearby US Coast Guard Academy. As artwork the appeal is the geometry: two long strokes at a wide angle, a pale sprawl of pavement above them, nothing else competing. Pair it with a Hartford diagram if you want two Connecticut fields on the same wall, and let the colorway you choose decide whether the X reads graphic or quiet.

Groton (New London) (GON) print, common questions

How many runways does Groton-New London Airport have?

Two. Runway 5/23 is 5,000 by 150 feet and runway 15/33 is 4,000 by 96 feet, both asphalt. They meet in the lower half of the drawing, and that crossing is the shape the whole print is built around.

What does GON mean?

GON is the identifier for Groton-New London Airport in Groton (New London), Connecticut. It is the code set in large type at the bottom of the artwork, with the coordinates and the 9 foot elevation under it.

Where is this airport?

Three nautical miles southeast of downtown Groton, in New London County on the Connecticut shoreline. It is state owned and public use, and it serves the southeastern corner of the state including Groton, New London and Mystic.

How accurate is the layout?

It is plotted from published airport information, NASR cycle 2610 effective 2026-09-03, so runway lengths, widths, angles and the taxiway and apron shapes follow the published runway data. It is composed as artwork at wall scale, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and signage are the usual examples.

What formats can I get this in?

Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download. The physical pieces are made to order; the download is a file. A two runway field like this one holds together at smaller sizes because the X still reads at a glance.

Is it a good gift for someone connected to Groton?

Yes, particularly for anyone who trained, based an aircraft or worked on the ramp here, or who knows the field from the Coast Guard Academy side of the river. The diagram is specific enough that they will find the runway they used, and it stays quiet on a wall.
