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 Reading'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.

Reading Regional/Carl A Spaatz Field Runway Diagram Print

RDG draws as an off-center X. Reading Regional/Carl A Spaatz Field has two runways: 13/31 at 6,350 by 150 feet and 18/36 at 5,151 by 150 feet, both asphalt. In the print, 13/31 runs as a long diagonal from the upper left down toward the right edge, while 18/36 drops from the top of the sheet on a steeper, near vertical line. The two meet low and right of center, so the crossing sits well off the middle of the page and leaves a wide, quiet field of paper below it. Field elevation, 343 feet, sits in the caption block under the identifier.

There is history under that geometry. Reading Army Air Field opened in 1943 with a mission to train tactical reconnaissance units, and the airport was dedicated as Carl Andrew Spaatz Field in 1984, named for a Boyertown, Pennsylvania native who was the first Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force. None of that appears as text on the sheet. What you get is the shape of the place, plotted from published airport information, with taxiway loops and apron edges held in a lighter gray so the two runways stay the darkest marks on the page.

As of 2022 the field logged 38,139 aircraft operations, an average of 104 per day, with 115 aircraft based at the airport. That activity reads in the drawing as a spread of taxiway loops and building footprints around and between the two strips, which gives the composition more texture than a bare pair of lines would. Hung beside diagrams of Allentown or Harrisburg, the low, lopsided crossing at Reading is the one that breaks the pattern, and that is the reason it works on a wall.

Reading (RDG) print, common questions

How many runways does Reading Regional/Carl A Spaatz Field have, and how long are they?

Two. Runway 13/31 is 6,350 by 150 feet and runway 18/36 is 5,151 by 150 feet, both asphalt. On the print they cross low and to the right of center, with 13/31 running as the long diagonal.

What is the elevation at RDG?

343 feet above sea level. That figure is printed in the caption block beneath the identifier, along with the coordinates 40.3785 N, 75.9652 W.

Where is the airport, and what does RDG stand for?

RDG is the identifier for Reading Regional/Carl A Spaatz Field, a public airport about three miles northwest of Reading, in Bern Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. It is owned by the Reading Regional Airport Authority.

How closely does the print follow the published layout?

The runway and taxiway geometry is plotted from published airport information, cycle 2609, effective 2026-08-06, so the relative lengths, widths and crossing angle follow that data. It is a print, not a navigation chart: fine details such as markings, lighting, signage and smaller pavement edges may be simplified or omitted, and it should never be used for flight.

What sizes and finishes are available?

The diagram is composed to scale up cleanly, so the runway numbers 13, 31, 18 and 36 stay legible from small formats through the largest size. Each physical piece is made to order in the colorway you choose, as a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print (Digital Download available separately).

Is this a good gift for a Reading pilot?

It tends to land well with anyone who trained, based an aircraft or flew charters out of the field, because the crossed pair of runways is recognizable at a glance. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat; other finishes use their own packaging.
