The field itself

This is Huntsville'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.

Huntsville Executive Tom Sharp Jr Field Runway Diagram Print

Huntsville Executive Tom Sharp Jr Field works from one runway: 18/36, 6,500 feet long and 100 feet wide, asphalt. That single strip is the whole spine of this airport map print. It runs nearly top to bottom of the sheet as one dark bar, numbered 18 at the head and 36 at the foot, with a parallel taxiway shadowing it the entire way and rounded connector loops stitching the two together.

Everything else leans to one side. The apron spreads out east of the taxiway as a broad pale shelf, and hangar blocks step down it at different sizes, tight ranks through the middle of the field and looser singles toward the south end. The rest of the sheet stays empty on purpose. The composition reads as one long vertical line plus a cluster, which is an easy shape to hang where nothing wide fits: a stairwell, the wall beside a door, a hallway with more height than width.

The label block carries the identifier MDQ, Huntsville, Alabama, the coordinates and the field elevation of 763 feet. What is drawn is plotted from published airport information, so the geometry stays disciplined rather than restyled for looks, and the colorway you choose changes the mood without moving a line. Put it next to nearby fields and it becomes a regional set: Decatur to the west, Chattanooga farther up the Tennessee Valley.

Huntsville (MDQ) print, common questions

How many runways does MDQ have?

One. Runway 18/36 measures 6,500 feet by 100 feet with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway on the diagram. The long pale ribbon running beside it in the print is the parallel taxiway, not a second runway.

Where is Huntsville Executive Tom Sharp Jr Field, and how high is it?

It sits at Huntsville, Alabama, near 34.8594 degrees north and 86.5575 degrees west, at a field elevation of 763 feet. Those coordinates and that elevation are printed in the label block.

Why is the runway called 18/36?

Runway numbers come from the magnetic heading, rounded to the nearest ten degrees and dropped to two digits. A runway pointing close to magnetic south reads 18, and the reciprocal end pointing close to magnetic north reads 36. Local magnetic variation here is listed as 4W, and the strip stands almost vertical on the sheet as a result.

How accurate is the artwork compared with the published layout?

The runway, taxiway and apron shapes are plotted from published airport information, so 18/36 keeps its published length-to-width proportion and the buildings keep their published positions on the east side. It is composed for a wall, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and signage are the usual examples.

What formats does this print come in?

Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download, in a range of sizes. The physical pieces are made to order; the digital option is a file you download. A tall narrow size suits MDQ especially well, since the whole field is one vertical line.

Is this a good gift for a pilot?

It works for anyone with a reason to know this field: a pilot based in north Alabama, someone who learned to fly on 18/36, a hangar owner. The identifier MDQ and the airport name are set plainly in the corner, so the recipient recognises it from across the room.
