Hawkins Field Runway Diagram Print

Hawkins Field is a two runway field whose strips cross, and that crossing is the entire composition of this print. Runway 16/34 is the long one at 5,387 by 150 feet of asphalt, dropping from the upper left of the sheet toward the bottom edge. Runway 11/29 is shorter at 3,431 by 150 feet of concrete, and it runs down to the right, meeting the long strip below center so the two form a narrow X. Aprons, taxiways and hangar blocks sit in a lighter tone on both flanks, which leaves the two runways as the only heavy marks on the page. The field elevation, 341 feet, is set with the coordinates under the identifier.

The field has a deep record for its size. Jackson named it Hawkins Field in 1941 after A.F. Hawkins, a city commissioner with an interest in aviation, and in 1941 the Dutch government in exile established the Royal Netherlands Military Flying School there. It was redesignated Jackson Army Airfield in 1941 and activated in 1942 as a basic flying training airfield under the Flying Training Command, which is when the wartime construction program cut concrete across the property. The Mississippi Air National Guard began using facilities at the field in 1953, and its Constellations flew from Hawkins until 1964. In 1963 the city opened a new airport built for jets, and Hawkins Field became a general aviation airport. Two more runways from the war years are closed, so the diagram carries only the pair still in use at full weight.

As art, an X field behaves differently from a single strip. The angle between the two runways gives the sheet a diagonal spine and a clear center of gravity, and the negative space around it stays quiet, so the piece holds up from across a room and rewards a closer look at the taxiway ladders and the small hangar rectangles. It suits a hallway, an office wall or a spot beside a desk, in the colorway you choose. If you are putting together a Mississippi wall, Meridian and Greenwood are drawn in the same style, and hung together they show how differently two or three runways can meet.

Jackson (HKS) print, common questions

How many runways does Hawkins Field have, and how long are they?

Two. Runway 16/34 is 5,387 by 150 feet with an asphalt surface, and runway 11/29 is 3,431 by 150 feet with a concrete surface. Both are drawn on this print, crossing below the center of the sheet.

Where is HKS, and what is the field elevation?

Hawkins Field sits in Jackson, Mississippi, at an elevation of 341 feet. The coordinates printed under the identifier are 32.3348 N, 90.2225 W.

What does the code HKS mean?

HKS is the identifier for Hawkins Field in Jackson, Mississippi. The same field carries the ICAO code KHKS. The print uses HKS because that is the code most people who fly there say out loud.

How accurate is the diagram?

The runways, taxiways, aprons and buildings are plotted from published airport information for Hawkins Field, and runway designators follow the published layout. It is a print, not a navigation document, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Lighting, markings and signage are examples of what is left out.

What sizes are available?

Several standard portrait sizes are offered. The crossing runways scale cleanly, so a small size still reads as an X from a few feet away. Pick the colorway that fits the wall it is going on.

Does this work as a gift?

Yes, particularly for a pilot who trained at Hawkins Field, a Mississippi Army National Guard aviator, or anyone who grew up under the pattern in Jackson. It is a place they know, rendered as a clean geometric mark rather than a photograph, so it reads as art first and as a personal reference second.
