The field itself

This is Oklahoma City'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

Wiley Post Airport Runway Diagram Print

Wiley Post Airport works three runways, and this print plots all three to scale from published field information. Runway 17L/35R is the long one at 7,199 feet by 150 feet, laid in concrete, with its parallel 17R/35L at 5,002 feet by 75 feet, and 13/31 measuring 4,562 feet by 100 feet at about 40 degrees off the pair. A long strip, a narrower parallel beside it, and a diagonal set against both give this layout more structure than the runway count suggests. Field elevation is 1,300 feet, and the magnetic variation of 5E sits small in the corner the way a chart carries it.

The name belongs to Wiley Post, the first pilot to fly solo around the world, who died in the same 1935 crash that killed Will Rogers, namesake of the city's other major airport. The name has moved once already. The first Wiley Post Airport stood about five miles northeast of here, at the northwest corner of May Avenue and Britton Road, built in 1928 as Curtiss-Wright Field, renamed for Post in 1941, and closed in 1955 with the ground turned over to housing. This field began in 1942 as Tulakes Airport, a wartime auxiliary absorbing overflow military traffic from Will Rogers Field, shifted to civilian general aviation after the war, and took the Wiley Post name in 1961.

Today it is the business and general aviation side of Oklahoma City flying, seven nautical miles northwest of downtown on 1,143 acres, with more than 300 aircraft based in leased hangars, from single engine trainers up through jets. The tower logged 55,293 operations in the year ending July 2021, and that figure counts only what moved while the tower was open, daily from seven in the morning until ten at night. What the print keeps is the ground plan: three runways at published length and width, the designators, and the flat open acreage between them, composed from published airport information and available field depictions onto a ground tone you choose. It reads as a clean graphic mark from across a room, rewards a closer look, and makes a specific gift for anyone who learned to fly out of PWA.
