Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Jackson'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.

Jackson Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print

MKL reads as an off-center cross. The print draws two runways that meet at a single crossing point set high in the frame, above the taxiway loops and the apron. Runway 02/20 is the long member at 6,007 by 100 feet, running from the lower left corner up toward the top right. Runway 11/29 is shorter at 3,539 by 100 feet, cutting across the upper third from left to right and clipping 02/20 just past its midpoint. Both are asphalt. The field elevation is 435 feet. Because the crossing sits well north of center, the composition has weight at the top and a long clean diagonal running down through empty space, which is the whole reason this one hangs well.

Jackson Regional is a public use airport about four nautical miles west of downtown Jackson, owned by the city and the county. The Civil Works Administration was persuaded to acquire the property and build the initial runways and buildings in the 1930s, and the field was originally named in memory of Kenneth Douglas McKellar, a longtime U.S. senator from Tennessee. It was leased by the United States Army Air Forces in 1942 and operated as McKellar Field, a primary pilot training airfield where cadets flew PT-17 Stearman biplanes. Southern Airways connected the city to Memphis and Nashville in 1960. The airport carried the McKellar-Sipes name from the 1970s, for Major Robert Ray "Buster" Sipes, an Air Force test pilot from Jackson, before taking its current name.

As a print, the appeal is the geometry: one bold diagonal, one shorter bar across it, and a lot of quiet paper around them. The runway end markers read 02, 20, 11 and 29, and the identifier block carries the coordinates and the elevation. Sized for a hallway, an office wall or a gallery grouping, printed to order in the colorway you choose.

Jackson (MKL) print, common questions

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

Two. Runway 02/20 measures 6,007 by 100 feet and runway 11/29 measures 3,539 by 100 feet. Both are asphalt, and both appear on the print with their end designators.

What does the code MKL stand for?

MKL is the identifier for Jackson Regional Airport in Jackson, Tennessee. The ICAO code is KMKL, but the print carries the short form MKL, which is what pilots and travelers actually say.

Where is the airport, and how high is the field?

It sits about four nautical miles west of the central business district of Jackson, in west Tennessee, at 35.5999 N, 88.9156 W. Field elevation is 435 feet, printed under the coordinates.

How accurate is the layout on this print?

The runways, taxiways, apron and building footprints are plotted from published airport information for the current charting cycle, so the crossing angle and the relative runway lengths follow the published layout. It is designed as wall art, not as a navigation document: fine details may be simplified or omitted, and it should never be used for flight.

What sizes are available?

Several standard portrait sizes, printed to order in the colorway you choose. The tall format suits MKL well, since the long 02/20 diagonal needs vertical room to breathe.

Is this a good gift for a Jackson pilot?

It works for anyone with a tie to the field: student pilots who learned in the pattern here, National Guard families, or someone who simply grew up under the approach. The identifier is legible across a room, so the recipient recognizes it immediately.
