Materials

Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. 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.

Dimensions

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

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Las Cruces'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.

Las Cruces International Airport Runway Diagram Print

Las Cruces International Airport works three runways, and the print is built on the way they close a triangle. Runway 12/30, 7,506 by 100 feet of concrete, falls from the upper left of the sheet toward the lower right. Runway 04/22, 7,501 by 105 feet of asphalt, climbs from the lower left toward the upper right, and the two cross well above the middle of the field. Runway 08/26, 6,069 by 100 feet, lies flat along the bottom and joins the low end of one diagonal to the low end of the other, so the layout reads as a wide X standing on a level bar. Field elevation is 4,457 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 8E.

The field is city owned and sits nine miles west of the central business district of Las Cruces, in Doña Ana County, on a mesa overlooking the Mesilla Valley. Scheduled flying here goes back further than the size of the place suggests. Pioneer Air Lines opened service in 1948 with Las Cruces as a stop on a Douglas DC-3 route between Amarillo and El Paso, Texas. Zia Airlines was based at the field and flew to Albuquerque and Santa Fe from 1974 through 1980, and Mesa Airlines ran the longest stretch of any carrier, from 1985 through 2001. In the year ending December 31, 2017 the airport logged 79,880 aircraft operations, an average of 219 a day, and 67.4 percent of those were military.

The print keeps that geometry unfussy. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, while taxiways, apron edges and the rows of hangars and buildings below the bottom runway are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. The airport covers 2,193 acres, and at that spread the triangle fills the sheet without the linework crowding itself. It is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions rather than a navigation document, printed to order at a size that holds together from the far side of a room and rewards a closer look.

Las Cruces (LRU) print, common questions

How many runways does Las Cruces International Airport have?

Three. Runway 12/30 is 7,506 by 100 feet of concrete, runway 04/22 is 7,501 by 105 feet of asphalt, and runway 08/26 is 6,069 by 100 feet. On the print the first two cross above the middle of the field and the third runs flat beneath them.

What is the longest runway at LRU, and how high is the field?

The longest is 12/30 at 7,506 feet. Field elevation is 4,457 feet above sea level, and that figure is set in the margin of the print with the coordinates.

What does LRU stand for and where is the airport?

LRU is the IATA code for Las Cruces International Airport, a city owned public field nine miles west of the central business district of Las Cruces in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, at roughly 32.29 north, 106.92 west, on a mesa above the Mesilla Valley.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

The runway designators, lengths, widths and the crossing geometry between the three runways come from published airport information for the field. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.

What sizes are there, and does this work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It suits anyone who trained at the field, keeps an aircraft on the mesa west of town, or grew up in the Mesilla Valley under the traffic pattern.
