Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Batavia'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.

Genesee County Airport Runway Diagram Print

Genesee County Airport gives this print one runway and lets it carry the whole sheet: 10/28, 5,499 feet long and 100 feet wide, asphalt, laid out as a single dark horizontal bar with the numbers 10 at the left threshold and 28 at the right. Below it runs a parallel taxiway that loops back to the runway in a row of open rectangles, and under that sits the apron with its cluster of hangar blocks, offset toward the center and right. Nothing crosses. The composition is one long line, one long echo of that line, and a small dense patch of buildings.

The field is county-owned and public-use, sitting in Genesee County, New York, two nautical miles north of the central business district of Batavia. It covers 326 acres at an elevation of 914 feet, and the print carries that 914 under the coordinate line. GVQ was formerly 3G8, and while many US airports share one three-letter code across systems, this one has no IATA designation. Listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011 to 2015, it was categorized as a general aviation reliever airport, which is the role the geometry suggests: a long single strip with room for traffic that does not need Rochester, 22 nautical miles east. For the 12-month period ending in 2009 the airport counted 40,000 aircraft operations, an average of 109 per day, with 48 aircraft based there.

As artwork the appeal is the restraint. A single strip field hung on a wall behaves like a rule drawn across the upper third of the frame, with all the visual weight of the taxiway and apron gathered beneath it and a wide field of empty ground below that. The GVQ block, city line, coordinates and elevation anchor the lower right corner. Whichever colorway you choose, the runway stays the darkest element and the taxiway edges stay quiet, so the piece reads cleanly from across a room and rewards a closer look at the hangar row.

Batavia (GVQ) print, common questions

How many runways does Genesee County Airport have?

One. Runway 10/28 measures 5,499 by 100 feet with an asphalt surface, and in the print it is the single horizontal strip across the top, with a parallel taxiway and apron below it. No second runway crosses it.

How high is the field, and is the elevation on the print?

The airport sits at 914 feet above mean sea level, and that figure is printed under the coordinates in the GVQ block at the lower right, along with the Batavia, New York city line.

Where is GVQ and what does the code stand for?

GVQ is the identifier for Genesee County Airport, a county-owned, public-use field two nautical miles north of the central business district of Batavia, in Genesee County, New York. It was formerly 3G8 and has no IATA designation.

How accurate is the layout in the artwork?

Runway 10/28, the taxiway and the apron are plotted from published airport information, so lengths, widths and orientation follow that data rather than an artistic guess. This is wall art rather than a navigation document, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Surface markings, lighting and signage are the usual examples.

What sizes and finishes is this available in?

The GVQ artwork comes as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose; the download is a file you keep.

Does this work as a gift for a pilot?

Yes, particularly for someone who trained, based an aircraft or flew regularly out of Genesee County Airport. The single 10/28 strip is recognizable to anyone who has used the field, and the identifier block makes it clear without explanation.
