The field itself

This is Salisbury'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.

Mid-Carolina Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print

Mid-Carolina Regional runs one runway, 02/20, 5,501 feet long and 100 feet wide, asphalt, and the print gives that single strip the whole page. On the print the runway sits almost upright, leaning a few degrees off vertical, labeled 2 at the lower southwest end and 20 at the upper northeast end. A parallel taxiway shadows it down the east side, and that pairing of one dark bar against one thin light line is the entire composition. Nothing crosses it. No second runway, no X, no V.

The interest is in what hangs off that spine. Ladder rungs of connector taxiway step across to a cluster of aprons and hangar blocks along the east flank, with a separate rectangular apron standing alone on the west side about a third of the way up. Read from a few feet back the whole thing looks like a ruled line with hardware clipped to it, which is why a small general aviation field like this one prints well: it is legible instantly, and it holds a wall without shouting. The field elevation, 772 feet, and the coordinates sit in the lower corner under the identifier.

The airport is a general aviation field covering 400 acres, three miles southwest of downtown Salisbury in Rowan County, and it was renamed from Rowan County Airport in 2016. Geographically it sits in the corridor between Charlotte to the southwest and the Piedmont cities to the northeast, close enough to Concord that pilots working this part of the state know all three fields by sight. On paper that context is trivia. On a wall it is the reason someone recognizes the shape.

Salisbury (RUQ) print, common questions

How many runways does RUQ have, and how long is it?

One. Runway 02/20 measures 5,501 feet by 100 feet with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway drawn on the print.

Where is Mid-Carolina Regional?

Salisbury, North Carolina, in Rowan County, about three miles southwest of the city's central business district. Field elevation is 772 feet, which is printed under the coordinates on the print.

What does RUQ stand for?

RUQ is the location identifier for Mid-Carolina Regional Airport and the code set in large type on this print. The airport is an oddity in that its IATA code, SRW, is a different set of letters entirely.

How accurate is the diagram?

The layout is plotted from published airport information, so the runway orientation, the parallel taxiway on the east side and the apron and hangar footprints all sit where the published data puts them. It is a design print rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Approach lighting, markings and signage are examples of what gets left out.

What sizes are available?

Several standard sizes are offered, and the single upright runway suits a tall vertical frame particularly well. The linework stays crisp in whichever colorway you choose.

Does this work as a gift?

It lands for anyone with a connection to this specific field: someone who trained here, keeps an aircraft here, or grew up under the pattern in Salisbury. Each print is made to order and ships free within the US.
