The field itself

This is Grayling'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.

Grayling AAF Runway Diagram Print

Grayling AAF draws as two long runways that meet close to their western ends, so the print reads as a wide V opening toward the east with two short stubs behind the crossing. Runway 14/32 is the longer of the pair at 5,005 by 150 feet with an asphalt surface, and it runs from the 14 threshold at upper left down to 32 at lower right. Runway 05/23 is 5,000 by 150 feet on concrete, climbing from the 5 end just below the intersection out to 23 at the top right. Because the two lengths are within a few feet of each other, neither leg dominates: the shape stays balanced on the wall instead of tipping to one side.

The field sits at 1,158 feet above sea level in Crawford County, Michigan, about one nautical mile northwest of downtown Grayling and roughly 7 miles northeast of the main cantonment area of Camp Grayling. Its history is written into the geometry. The airport was constructed between 1927 and 1929 for the National Guard Air Squadron of Detroit, the runways were hard surfaced in 1933, and the whole field was turned over to the federal government for military use during World War II, when it was known for a time as McNamara Field. In 2020 the Michigan National Guard unveiled the National All-Domain Warfighting Center here. One local quirk that explains the two different surfaces: runway 5/23 and taxiways A, D and E close through the winter months because those surfaces get no snow removal.

As art, this one earns its space through restraint. Everything to the east of the pavement is quiet apron and taxiway line work, which leaves a large open field inside the V and gives the composition somewhere to breathe. The runway ends carry their numbers, the coordinates and elevation sit under the GOV wordmark, and the published magnetic variation of 6W is part of why the numbers land where they do. Hung as a set with a diagram from Traverse City or Alpena, it holds up as a northern Michigan grouping without any two layouts looking alike. Each print is made to order, rendered from published airport information, and the artwork carries whichever colorway you choose.

Grayling (GOV) print, common questions

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

Two, and both appear on the print. Runway 14/32 measures 5,005 by 150 feet on asphalt, and runway 05/23 measures 5,000 by 150 feet on concrete. They intersect near their western ends, which is why the diagram reads as a wide V opening east rather than a centered X.

What is the longest runway at GOV?

Runway 14/32, at 5,005 feet long and 150 feet wide. Runway 05/23 is five feet shorter at 5,000 feet, with the same 150 foot width.

How high is the airfield?

1,158 feet above mean sea level. That elevation is printed under the coordinates in the lower corner of the sheet.

Where is GOV, and what does the code mean?

GOV is this airport's three-letter location identifier, set large under the diagram. The field is one nautical mile northwest of the central business district of Grayling, in Crawford County, Michigan, and it has no IATA designation, since IATA assigned GOV to Gove Airport in Australia.

How accurate is the diagram?

Runway positions, lengths, widths and orientations are plotted from published airport data for the current cycle, and the layout follows the published diagram. It is a print rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting symbols and minor service roads are examples of what gets left out for legibility.

Does it work as a gift for someone with a connection to Grayling?

Yes. It is a specific field rather than a generic aviation print, which makes it land for pilots, National Guard families and anyone who has spent time around Camp Grayling. Prints come in several sizes, and the colorway you choose sets the mood, from bright and graphic to dark and quiet.
