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.

Dimensions

Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Moline'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.

Quad Cities International Airport Runway Diagram Print

Quad Cities International Airport has three runways, and only two of them touch. Runway 09/27 is 10,002 by 150 feet of concrete and runs the full width of the diagram, close to horizontal. Runway 13/31 is 7,301 by 150 feet and falls from the upper left to the lower right, crossing 09/27 right of centre to make the big X the print is built on. The third strip, 05/23 at 3,514 by 150 feet, sits alone in the southwest quadrant, angled the other way and stopping just short of the long runway. Field elevation is 590 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 1E.

The field is in Rock Island County, three miles south of Moline, and it serves the Quad Cities: Moline and Rock Island in Illinois, Davenport and Bettendorf across the river in Iowa. Moline is the largest city in Rock Island County and, at the 2020 census, the 36th most populous in Illinois outside the Chicago metropolitan area. The airport is a port of entry with a Foreign Trade Zone and a customs office, which is where the international in the name comes from rather than from scheduled overseas flights.

It started as Franing Field, 120 acres of level grass picked for being free of obstacles, and it made news early: it was a control point for the first coast to coast flight in the autumn of 1919. An estimated 10,000 people turned out on August 18, 1927 to meet Charles Lindbergh and the Spirit of St. Louis on the Guggenheim tour. In 1929 Phoebe Omlie set an altitude record over the field in a Velie Monocoupe, the only airplane ever built in Moline, and one hangs in the passenger terminal. Seven townships voted in 1947 to create the Metropolitan Airport Authority of Rock Island County, the present terminal was finished in 1985, and in 2012 the airport was named Illinois Primary Airport of the Year.

Some of the grey on the print carries its own history. Runway 09/27 was rebuilt in a program completed in late 2012, and the temporary parallel runway built to keep the field open became taxiway P, which is why a long ribbon of pavement runs beside the main runway on the western half of the sheet. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, and taxiways, apron edges and building footprints are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions rather than a navigation document, printed to order at a size that reads from across a room and still rewards standing close.

Moline (MLI) print, common questions

How many runways does Quad Cities International Airport have?

Three. Runway 09/27 is 10,002 by 150 feet, runway 13/31 is 7,301 by 150 feet, and runway 05/23 is 3,514 by 150 feet. Only 09/27 and 13/31 cross each other; 05/23 stops short of both.

What is the longest runway at MLI, and how high is the field?

Runway 09/27 at 10,002 feet, laid in concrete. Field elevation is 590 feet above sea level, and that figure is set in the margin of the print.

What does MLI stand for and where is the airport?

MLI is the IATA code for Quad Cities International Airport, in Rock Island County, Illinois, three miles south of Moline. It serves the Quad Cities, which include Davenport and Bettendorf on the Iowa side of the Mississippi.

Why is it called international if there are no overseas flights?

The airport is an official port of entry with a Foreign Trade Zone and a U.S. Customs office, which supports international cargo and international general aviation arrivals. The name follows the designation, not a scheduled route map.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

The runway designators, lengths, widths and the angles between the three strips come from published airport information for the field. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.

What sizes can I get, and does this work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It suits anyone who commutes through the Quad Cities, learned to fly over the Rock River, or keeps a Velie Monocoupe story in the family.
