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 Norfolk'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.

Norfolk NS (Chambers Field) Runway Diagram Print

Norfolk NS (Chambers Field) is a one runway field, and the print gives that single strip the full width of the sheet. Runway 10/28 measures 8,370 ft long and 200 ft wide, asphalt, and in the image it reads as one dark horizontal bar with the 10 threshold at the left end and 28 at the right. Nothing crosses it. The pavement around it, taxiways, aprons and building footprints, sits in soft grey above and below the line, so the runway is the only thing on the page with weight.

That contrast is what makes a single runway field work as wall art. A field with three or four strips gives you an X or a triangle to look at. Here the interest comes from proportion: 8,370 ft of length against 200 ft of width, held dead level across a wide margin of empty paper. The grey apron mass leans off to one side and gives the composition a little asymmetry, which keeps the bar from feeling like a rule someone ruled across the sheet.

The layout is plotted from published airport data, then reduced to flat shapes and a single accent so the geometry carries the piece rather than the detail. Elevation reads 15 ft, which is printed in the corner block along with the coordinates and the NGU identifier. Magnetic variation here is 10W, one of the small numbers behind why runway 10/28 is labelled the way it is.

Hung on its own it is a quiet, graphic piece. Hung in a row it sets up well against other tidewater fields: Newport News up the peninsula, Elizabeth City down across the sound, each with its own arrangement of strips and its own shape of empty space.

Norfolk (NGU) print, common questions

How many runways does NGU have?

One. Runway 10/28 is the only runway at Norfolk NS (Chambers Field), and it is the single dark bar you see running left to right across the print.

How long is the runway at Norfolk NS (Chambers Field)?

8,370 ft, with a width of 200 ft. The surface is asphalt. Those proportions are what set the shape of the bar on the sheet.

Where is NGU and how high is it?

Norfolk, Virginia, at an elevation of 15 ft. The coordinates and the elevation are printed in the corner block of the artwork.

What does NGU mean?

NGU is the three letter identifier for Norfolk NS (Chambers Field). It is the code set in large type on the print, so the piece is readable as this field and not another.

How accurate is the layout?

The artwork is plotted from published airport information, so runway 10/28 sits at its published orientation and proportion relative to the surrounding pavement. It is a stylised drawing, not a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Painted markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.

What sizes and finishes does this come in, and does it work as a gift?

It is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose. It suits anyone with a tie to this field: the identifier and the coordinates make it specific to them rather than generic aviation decor.
