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.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Tampa'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.

MacDill AFB Runway Diagram Print
MacDill AFB works from one runway: 05/23, 11,421 feet long and 151 feet wide, asphalt. On the sheet, that single strip carries the whole composition. It enters at the lower left as end 05, climbs on a steady diagonal to end 23 at the upper right, and never meets another runway.
Everything else is grey and deliberately secondary. A taxiway loop swings out west of the runway and closes into a rough triangle, and a broad apron slab lies along the eastern side with small pads stepping down its edge in a dotted line. The contrast is the design: one dark stroke, a wedge of soft grey, open space around both. At size it reads as a graphic mark first and an airport diagram second.
Under the drawing sit the plain facts: Tampa, Florida, 27.8493 N, 82.5212 W, elevation 14 feet. Fourteen feet is a coastal number, and the layout looks the part, one long runway on flat ground with room on either side of it. Anyone who knows the field tends to recognize the diagonal before reading the letters.
MCF is the identifier on the artwork, and it belongs to a wider set of Florida fields that includes St Petersburg and Lakeland. Hung alone or grouped, in the colorway you choose, the lone 05/23 diagonal is the kind of shape that survives being looked at every day.
Tampa (MCF) print, common questions
How many runways does MacDill AFB have?
One. Runway 05/23 measures 11,421 feet by 151 feet with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway shown on the print.
How long is the runway at MCF?
11,421 feet, which makes it a long single strip for a one runway field. The print draws it end to end, with the 05 and 23 designators marked at the thresholds.
Where is MCF and what is the code?
MCF is the identifier for MacDill AFB at Tampa, Florida, near 27.8493 N, 82.5212 W. Its ICAO code is KMCF. The field elevation is 14 feet.
How accurate is the layout on this print?
The runway, taxiway and apron shapes are plotted from published airport information, including the 05/23 designators and the published proportions of the runway. This is artwork composed for a wall, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are the usual examples.
What formats and finishes are available?
Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print and Glossy Metal Print, all made to order, plus a Digital Download if you want the file itself. Several sizes are offered, and the tall single diagonal at MCF suits a narrow wall or a stairwell especially well.
Does this work as a gift?
Yes, particularly for anyone connected to Tampa aviation or to this field specifically. The identifier, city, coordinates and 14 foot elevation are printed under the diagram, so the piece explains itself without a caption.
