The field itself

This is Miami'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

Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport Runway Diagram Print

Miami-Opa Locka Executive works three asphalt runways, and this print draws each of them to scale from published field information. Runway 09L/27R is the long one at 8,002 feet by 150 feet, with the much shorter 09R/27L parallel to it at 4,309 feet by 100 feet, and 12/30 running off at its own angle at 6,800 feet by 150 feet. The result is a genuinely busy diagram: a long line, a short line below it, and a third strip running diagonally between them. Field elevation is 8 feet, about as close to sea level as a runway gets, and the magnetic variation of 6W goes small in the corner the way a chart carries it.

The airport sits 11 miles north of downtown Miami in Miami-Dade County, and part of it lies inside the Opa-locka city limits. Both the field and the city trace back to Glenn Curtiss, the aircraft pioneer who spent his later years developing Florida real estate. He founded Opa-locka in 1926 and moved his Florida Aviation Camp to a parcel nearby in late 1925. After he died in 1930, his estate passed land to the city of Miami, which leased it to the Navy, and it grew into Naval Air Station Miami: a wartime training base for fighter, dive bombing and torpedo work that peaked in 1945 at 7,200 officers and men plus 3,100 civilian employees. It became Marine Corps Air Station Miami on February 15, 1952, closed as a Navy installation in 1959, and the property went to the county in 1962 as Opa-locka Airport. The Coast Guard moved its Miami air station here from Dinner Key in 1965 and flies from the field still.

In 1966 and for years after, this was one of the busiest airfields in the United States. Opa-locka ranked second in the country by total operations in 1966 and again in 1967, behind only O'Hare, and it was still seventh in 1979 with 551,873 operations recorded. The county renamed it Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on October 7, 2014. What ends up on the wall is none of the history and all of the shape: three runways, their designators, the proportions between them, composed from published airport information and available field depictions and set on a ground tone you choose. It reads as a clean graphic mark from across a room and rewards a closer look, which makes it a sharp gift for anyone who trained, based, or worked at OPF.

Miami (OPF) print, common questions

How many runways does Miami-Opa Locka Executive have?

Three, all asphalt. Runway 09L/27R at 8,002 feet, runway 12/30 at 6,800 feet, and the short parallel 09R/27L at 4,309 feet. All three are drawn to scale in the print.

How long is the longest runway at OPF?

8,002 feet. That is runway 09L/27R, at 150 feet wide. Runway 12/30 is also 150 feet wide at 6,800 feet, and 09R/27L measures 4,309 feet by 100 feet.

What is the field elevation at OPF?

8 feet above sea level, which is about as low as a runway diagram goes. It is printed small in the corner alongside the 6W magnetic variation.

Where is OPF, and what does Opa-locka mean?

The airport is 11 miles north of downtown Miami in Miami-Dade County, partly inside the city of Opa-locka. Glenn Curtiss founded that city in 1926 and named it Opa-tisha-woka-locka, shortened to Opa-locka, which translates as the high land north of the little river with a camping place.

Was this a military airfield?

Yes. It was Naval Air Station Miami through World War II, became Marine Corps Air Station Miami on February 15, 1952, and closed as a Navy installation in 1959. Coast Guard Air Station Miami has flown from the field since 1965.

How does the OPF print relate to the airport's layout?

Published airport information and available field depictions guide the OPF composition, including the runway designators and relative geometry. It is original wall art, so fine details may be simplified or omitted.
