Materials

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 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 Airport Runway Diagram Print

Norfolk NS (NHU) is a one runway field, and the print does not pretend otherwise: a single strip marked 09 at one end and 27 at the other, 1,705 feet long and 150 feet wide, asphalt, sitting at 10 feet of elevation in Norfolk, Virginia. That is the whole flying surface. Everything else on the sheet is ground.

The composition reads as one dark horizontal bar high on the left side of the page, with the end numbers set into it, and then a spill of pale ramp and building shapes running down and to the right below it. A second cluster of structures sits off to the right with nothing between. Most of the sheet is left empty, which is what makes the piece work on a wall: the eye lands on the bar, follows the gray shapes southeast, and stops. Small fields like this one tend to hang better than busy ones, because there is a single line to look at and a lot of quiet around it.

It is plotted from published airport information rather than styled from imagination, so the runway's east to west orientation and its proportion against the ramp are the ones in the data. If you are building a Hampton Roads wall, the region gives you other single sheet subjects nearby, including the field at Newport News and the small strip at Fort Eustis, and they stack well in a row with this one because the layouts are so different from each other.

Norfolk (NHU) print, common questions

How many runways does Norfolk NS have?

One. It is designated 09/27, and it is the only runway shown on the print.

How long is the runway at NHU?

1,705 feet long and 150 feet wide, with an asphalt surface.

Where is NHU, and how high is the field?

Norfolk, Virginia, near 36.9557 degrees north and 76.3038 degrees west, at 10 feet of elevation. The coordinates and elevation are printed in the title block.

What do the numbers 9 and 27 on the runway mean?

They are the two ends of the same strip, named for its approximate magnetic heading in tens of degrees: roughly 090 from one end, roughly 270 from the other. Published magnetic variation at the field is 10W.

How closely does the artwork follow the published layout?

The runway, its designations and the ground shapes are composed from published airport information, but this is artwork rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Lighting, markings and signage are examples of what the drawing leaves out.

What formats does the NHU artwork come in, and does it work as a gift?

A layout this spare holds up at any scale, so you can take it as a fine art print, have it arrive framed as a framed fine art print, choose the glossy metal print for a harder edged look, or buy the digital download as a file. Physical pieces are made to order. It reads as a gift for anyone with a Norfolk connection or a reason to remember this particular strip, and the colorway you choose sets the mood more than the size does.
