Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Mountain View'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.

Moffett Federal Airfield Runway Diagram Print

Two parallel runways on a single northwest to southeast diagonal: that is the whole of Moffett Federal Airfield, and the whole of this print. The longer strip, 14L/32R, measures 9197 feet by 200 feet and is concrete. Its neighbor, 14R/32L, runs 8121 feet by 200 feet on asphalt. The field sits at 37 feet of elevation in Mountain View, California.

Because the two strips sit so close together, they read as one broad stroke cutting corner to corner across the sheet. Step closer and the pair separates, with the shorter 14R/32L tucked just inside and slightly below its partner. The taxiways, ramps and hangar footprints stay in a quieter grey behind them, so the eye follows the diagonal first and the field details second. Designators anchor each corner of the run: 14L and 14R near the top, 32L and 32R near the bottom.

The sheet is composed from published airport information, down to the runway designators printed at each end, with the identifier, coordinates and elevation set in the lower corner. It hangs well on its own and hangs even better in a row, since the Bay Area has a dense run of neighbors within a short drive: Palo Alto a few minutes up the Peninsula, San Jose down at the other end of the valley. Same drafting language, different geometry on each one.

Mountain View (NUQ) print, common questions

How many runways does Moffett Federal Airfield have?

Two. They are parallel, 14L/32R and 14R/32L, and the print draws them the way that pairing suggests: side by side on one diagonal.

How long is the longest runway at NUQ?

9197 feet. That is runway 14L/32R, 200 feet wide, concrete. The parallel 14R/32L is 8121 feet long and also 200 feet wide, asphalt.

What is the field elevation, and where is NUQ?

37 feet above sea level. NUQ is the identifier for Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View, California, and the elevation and coordinates are printed in the corner block of the artwork.

How accurate is the layout on this print?

Runway positions, lengths and widths follow published runway data for the current charting cycle. This is artwork made to be read from across a room, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Surface markings, lighting and small service roads are the usual candidates.

Which format works best for a diagonal field like this one?

A tall vertical suits it, because the runway run wants the long axis. Choose from Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print or Digital Download, in the colorway you choose. The physical pieces are made to order and the download is a file.

Is this a good gift for a pilot?

It works for anyone with a reason to know this field: someone who has flown the approach, someone who worked on the airfield, or someone who simply lives under the 14L/32R centerline. The geometry means something to them and reads as clean graphic design to everyone else.
