The field itself

This is Peru'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

Grissom ARB Runway Diagram Print

One runway defines Grissom ARB, and it is a long one. Runway 05/23 stretches 12,501 feet by 200 feet, a single ribbon of pavement laid on the diagonal, and it is the anchor of this print. At 811 feet of elevation in north-central Indiana, near the city of Peru, the field's lone runway carries corner to corner across the diagram, with published airport information guiding its orientation.

What makes the layout worth hanging is everything gathered along the northwest side of that runway. A full-length parallel taxiway shadows 05/23 for its entire run, and above it spreads a wide apron with a dense cluster of buildings and hardstands, the working core of the base. Off the northeast end, a set of angled dispersal pads fans out from the taxiway. We compose it from published airport information and available field depictions, with the runway, taxiways, and ramp arranged in relative proportion for wall art.

The three-letter code carries a story. Grissom takes its name from astronaut and Indiana native Lieutenant Colonel Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, who died in the Apollo 1 fire in 1967; the base was renamed in his memory in 1968. It opened in 1942 as a U.S. Navy field, Naval Air Station Bunker Hill, later served as Bunker Hill and then Grissom Air Force Base, and was downsized to an Air Force Reserve installation after a 1991 base realignment decision. The long runway, parallel taxiway, and broad apron preserve the field's working scale in the composition.
