The field itself

This is Fort Benning (Columbus)'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.

Lawson AAF (Fort Benning) Airport Runway Diagram Print

Lawson AAF draws as a single asphalt runway, 15/33, running corner to corner across the sheet. It is 10,002 feet long and 150 feet wide, and in the print it is the one dark stroke on the page, angled from upper left down to lower right with the 15 and 33 end numbers set into the pavement. The surrounding taxiways, aprons and hangar blocks sit back in pale grey, so the diagonal reads first from across a room and the detail arrives later. West of the runway, a knot of looping taxiways crosses itself into a rough star, which is the strangest and best shape on the whole sheet.

Lawson Army Airfield is a military airport at Fort Benning in Chattahoochee County, Georgia, south of the city of Columbus. The Army laid out a rudimentary landing field at Benning in 1919, and from 1921 to 1931 aircraft from Maxwell Field near Montgomery, Alabama used it for maneuvers. The field took its name in 1931 in honor of Capt. Walter R. Lawson, a Georgia native who flew with the 41st French Escadrille during World War I and received the Distinguished Flying Cross. The Air Force turned the airfield back over to the Army in 1954, and it has carried the Lawson Army Airfield name ever since. In 1967 it stood in for Da Nang Air Base during the filming of The Green Berets.

On a wall, a one-runway field like this one works as a quiet graphic rather than a busy one. Nothing competes with the diagonal: the type block sits low and right with LSF, the city and state, the coordinates and the 227 foot elevation, and the rest of the sheet stays open. Hang it where the long axis has room to breathe, above a desk or in a hallway, and let the pale infrastructure become the reward for standing closer. The colorway you choose decides whether the runway reads as ink on light paper or as a lit line in the dark.

Fort Benning (Columbus) (LSF) print, common questions

How many runways does Lawson AAF have, and how long are they?

One runway, 15/33, at 10,002 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface. That single strip is what you see as the dark diagonal in the print.

How high is the field, and where is it?

Field elevation is 227 feet, printed under the identifier. Lawson Army Airfield sits at Fort Benning in Chattahoochee County, Georgia, south of the city of Columbus, and the coordinates 32.3318 N, 84.9872 W appear on the sheet.

What does LSF stand for?

LSF is the identifier for Lawson Army Airfield at Fort Benning. The name honors Capt. Walter R. Lawson, a Georgia native who flew with the 41st French Escadrille during World War I; the airfield was named for him in 1931.

How accurate is the layout in this artwork?

It is plotted from published airport information, including the published runway 15/33 length, width and orientation for charting cycle 2610. This is a wall piece rather than a navigation document, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and signage are the usual omissions.

What sizes and formats can I get this in?

The LSF 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; the download is a file you print yourself. A taller size suits this field, since the runway runs the long way across the sheet.

Does this work as a gift?

Yes, particularly for anyone with a Fort Benning connection or a soft spot for one-runway military fields. The diagram is specific enough to be recognized on sight and restrained enough to hang in a room that is not otherwise about aviation.
