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.

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

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Fort Drum'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.

Wheeler-Sack AAF Runway Diagram Print

Wheeler-Sack AAF has three runways, and the print draws all three. Runway 03/21 is the long one at 10,000 feet by 150 feet on concrete, running nearly the full height of the frame with a slight lean. Runway 15/33 measures 5,002 feet by 144 feet and cuts across it on the diagonal, upper left down to lower right. Runway 08/26, 4,501 feet by 150 feet on an asphalt and concrete surface, crosses the long strip much lower, close to the bottom of the field.

That gives the artwork two separate crossings on one spine: a narrow X near the middle of the image, then a second, flatter junction below it. The two shorter runways never meet each other, so the shape refuses to settle into tidy symmetry, and the eye keeps returning to the long diagonal that holds it together. Taxiways, aprons and building footprints sit behind the runways in a quieter tone, which is what gives the dark strips their weight at wall distance.

The field sits at 690 feet of elevation in Fort Drum, New York, north of Watertown, with published coordinates of 44.0556 degrees north and 75.7199 degrees west set under the identifier on the print. Published magnetic variation is 13 degrees west, which is part of why the numbered ends read the way they do on the page. Composed from published airport information and offered in the colorway you choose, it reads as a graphic first and a diagram second.

Fort Drum (GTB) print, common questions

How many runways does Wheeler-Sack AAF have?

Three, and all three appear in the print: 03/21, 15/33 and 08/26. Both shorter runways cross 03/21 at different points along its length, and they do not intersect each other.

How long is the longest runway at GTB?

Runway 03/21 is 10,000 feet long and 150 feet wide, surfaced in concrete. Runway 15/33 is 5,002 feet by 144 feet, and runway 08/26 is 4,501 feet by 150 feet.

Where is GTB, and what is the field elevation?

GTB is Wheeler-Sack AAF at Fort Drum, New York, at 44.0556 degrees north and 75.7199 degrees west. Field elevation is 690 feet.

Is GTB the airport code on the print?

Yes. GTB is the identifier shown in large type at the lower right, with the city and state, the coordinates and the elevation stacked beneath it.

How closely does the artwork follow the published layout?

It is plotted from published runway data for the current charting cycle, so runway lengths, widths, crossing points and relative angles follow the published layout, though fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and minor edge shapes are the kinds of things that get reduced so the diagram stays legible from across a room.

What formats does this Wheeler-Sack AAF print 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 or a Digital Download, the last being a file rather than a physical piece. Physical pieces are made to order. For anyone with a Fort Drum or North Country connection, the three-runway layout is specific enough to be recognized immediately.
