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 San Diego'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.

Miramar MCAS (Joe Foss Field) Runway Diagram Print

Miramar MCAS (Joe Foss Field) prints as two long parallel strips running on a shared diagonal, set corner to corner across the sheet. The print labels the ends 6L and 24R on the upper strip and 6R and 24L on the lower one. Both bars hold the same angle, so the eye reads them as one wide band rather than two separate lines, and the empty paper above and below gives that band room to carry the whole composition.

The numbers behind the shapes are unusually clean for a two runway field. Runway 06L/24R is 12,000 feet long and 200 feet wide, concrete, and it is the strip that reaches farthest to the lower left in the drawing. Runway 06R/24L measures 8,001 feet by the same 200 feet, and it starts well inside the longer runway, which is why the two bars end unevenly on the left side of the frame. The field sits at 477 feet of elevation, noted under the identifier block with the coordinates.

Around the runways, the paler gray shows taxiways, aprons and building footprints, including the ranked rows of stands along the top edge that give the upper half its texture. The drawing is flat by design: no terrain, no roads, no shading, just pavement geometry plotted from published airport information. Hung as a set, it sits comfortably next to prints of other Southern California fields such as Carlsbad or Ramona, where the runway count is smaller and the shape reads quieter.

San Diego (NKX) print, common questions

How many runways does Miramar MCAS (Joe Foss Field) have?

Two. Runway 06L/24R is 12,000 feet by 200 feet with a concrete surface, and Runway 06R/24L is 8,001 feet by 200 feet. Both appear in the print as parallel diagonal bars with their end designators set in white.

What is the elevation, and where exactly does the airport sit?

The field elevation is 477 feet. Miramar MCAS (Joe Foss Field) is in San Diego, California, at 32.8685 degrees north and 117.1432 degrees west, and both the elevation and the coordinates are printed beneath the identifier.

What is NKX?

NKX is the identifier used for Miramar MCAS (Joe Foss Field), and it is the code set in large type at the lower right of the artwork. The print uses that three character form rather than any longer code.

How accurate is the layout?

Runway positions, lengths, widths and orientations follow published airport data for this field, including the published magnetic variation of 12E. It is artwork rather than a navigation document, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what the drawing leaves out.

What sizes and finishes can I get?

This airport map print is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order. The long diagonal band of runway suits a larger size if you want the 12,000 foot strip to read across a room, and the colorway you choose sets how sharply the pavement separates from the background.

Does it work as a gift?

Yes, particularly for someone with a connection to this field or to San Diego flying in general. It reads as a graphic piece first and a diagram second, so it does not need explaining on the wall, and the identifier and coordinates give it a specific meaning to anyone who knows the place.
