The field itself

This is Kansas City'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.

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.

Kansas City Downtown/Wheeler Field Runway Diagram Print

Kansas City Downtown/Wheeler Field puts two runways on the wall, and they cross. Runway 1/19 is the long one, 6,827 by 150 feet of concrete, running nearly straight up the sheet with a slight lean. Runway 4/22 comes in from the lower left at 5,050 by 100 feet of asphalt and cuts across it a little below the middle of the field. The angle between them is shallow, so the two strips read as a long narrow X rather than a tidy cross, with both pairs of ends splaying apart toward the top and bottom edges. Field elevation is 757 feet.

The layout carries its history in it. The airport was built in the Missouri River bottoms next to the rail tracks at the Hannibal Bridge, back when air travel was expected to be handled alongside rail traffic, and it sits on the north side of the confluence of the Kansas River and the Missouri River. That water is why the boundary is long and pinched instead of square. It was dedicated as New Richards Field in 1927 by Charles Lindbergh, later renamed for Charles Wheeler, who was mayor when Kansas City International opened, and scheduled passenger airline flights left for that newer field in 1972. One taxiway here was at one time part of runway 17/35, closed after a decision on the required separation between terminal buildings and the runway.

As a print, the appeal is the tension between the two strips. The dark runways sit against a pale web of taxiways, aprons and hangar blocks, and because the crossing point sits low, most of the visual weight of the drawing is above it. It is plotted from published airport information, so the proportions and the crossing angle come from the published runway data rather than from styling. It hangs well on its own and it hangs well in a row: pilots who fly this metro often pick up Olathe or Topeka alongside it, and the same drawing rules apply across all of them, so a group stays consistent whatever the colorway you choose.

Kansas City (MKC) print, common questions

How many runways does MKC have?

Two. Runway 1/19 and runway 4/22, and in the print they cross each other at a shallow angle a little below the middle of the field.

How long is the longest runway at MKC?

Runway 1/19 is the longest at 6,827 feet, and it is 150 feet wide with a concrete surface. Runway 4/22 is 5,050 by 100 feet, asphalt.

Where is MKC and what does the code stand for?

MKC is the identifier for Kansas City Downtown/Wheeler Field in Kansas City, Missouri, at about 39.1229 N, 94.5928 W. The three letter code is the airport identifier, not an abbreviation of the name, and it is the code printed on the sheet.

What is the field elevation at MKC?

757 feet. That figure is printed under the coordinates in the lower corner of the design.

Is the diagram accurate to the real layout of the airport?

It is plotted from published airport information for cycle 2609, effective 2026-08-06, so runway designators, lengths, widths and the crossing angle follow the published layout. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out. Nothing on it should be used for flight planning.

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

Every size is made to order, in the colorway you choose, and larger sizes give the two crossing strips more room to breathe. It reads as a good gift for anyone who trained, based an aircraft or worked at the downtown field, since the identifier and the layout are recognizable at a glance without any explanation.
