The field itself

This is Mesquite'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.

Mesquite Metro Airport Runway Diagram Print

Mesquite Metro works from one runway. It is 18/36, 6,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, concrete, and on the print it reads as a single dark strip that runs almost the full height of the sheet on a slight lean off vertical. There is no X, no V, no second strip crossing it. That restraint is the whole appeal: one confident line, a lot of open paper around it, and a composition that holds a wall without shouting.

Look closer and the supporting geometry does the storytelling. A parallel taxiway runs the length of the runway on its west side, tied in by short connector stubs that read like rungs on a ladder, and the hangar rows, apron and building clusters bunch up toward the northern third. The rest of the field is quiet. Mesquite Metro sits in Dallas County, about 3 nautical miles east of the central business district of Mesquite, which is why the diagram feels like a working general aviation field rather than a terminal complex. If you want a companion piece from the same corner of the state, Dallas has published prints of its own.

The field has been growing since it was built with private funding in 1975 as the Phil L. Hudson Municipal Airport. The city of Mesquite bought it in 1983, and a 1992 refurbishment brought the runway to its present length of 6,000 feet, the length you see plotted here. Elevation 447 feet and the coordinates sit in the lower corner with the identifier, rendered from published airport information and printed in the colorway you choose.

Mesquite (HQZ) print, common questions

How many runways does Mesquite Metro have?

One. Runway 18/36 is the only runway at HQZ, and the print shows it as a single strip with a parallel taxiway alongside, not a crossing pair.

How long is the runway at HQZ?

6,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, concrete. That single long proportion is what gives the print its tall, narrow spine.

Where is Mesquite Metro Airport?

In Dallas County, Texas, about 3 nautical miles east of the central business district of Mesquite, west of the Dallas County and Kaufman County line.

What does HQZ mean, and how high is the field?

HQZ is this airport's three-letter location identifier, and unlike most U.S. airports it has no IATA code. Field elevation is 447 feet, printed under the coordinates.

How accurate is the print to the published layout?

The geometry is plotted from published runway data for HQZ: runway 18/36 in its published orientation, with the parallel taxiway, connectors and apron areas beside it. Fine details may be simplified or omitted so the shapes stay legible from across a room. It is a piece of wall art, not a navigation document.

Does it work as a gift for a pilot who trained here?

Yes, and it is a common reason people buy this one. HQZ is a busy general aviation field, in 2022 logging 103,642 aircraft operations, so the layout is familiar to a lot of student pilots and hangar tenants. Several sizes and finishes are offered, and each is made to order.
