Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Selma'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.

Craig Field Runway Diagram Print

Craig Field works one runway, and the print gives it the whole sheet. Runway 15/33 runs 8,014 feet by 150 feet in asphalt and concrete, a single long diagonal on a field sitting at 166 feet of elevation, with the magnetic variation of 3W noted small in the corner the way a chart carries it. Plotted to scale from the published runway data, it reads as one clean line with open ground on either side, which is what a former military airfield looks like from above once the traffic has thinned out.

That much runway on a field this quiet is a leftover. This was Craig Air Force Base, an undergraduate pilot training installation flying T-37 Tweets and T-38 Talons under the 29th Flying Training Wing until it closed in 1977. The base went active on August 4, 1940, and two permanent parallel runways of matched length, laid in asphalt and concrete, were finished in October 1941. Cadets trained there on AT-6 Texans and later on the twin engine B-26 Marauder, British, French and Dutch pilots among them, and more than 9,000 American pilots had come through the program by the end of the war. The second parallel is still on the ground but closed, so 15/33 is the only strip maintained. The field is four miles southeast of Selma in Dallas County, Alabama, on 1,790 acres run by the Craig Field Airport and Industrial Authority. We keep the drawing honest to that plain, purposeful layout, composed from published airport information and available field depictions for a wall rather than a cockpit, so it holds up close and still reads as a clear graphic mark from across a room.

Selma (SEM) print, common questions

How many runways does Craig Field have?

One in use. Runway 15/33 measures 8,014 feet by 150 feet, surfaced in asphalt and concrete. A second parallel runway from the airport's Air Force years still exists on the field but is closed.

How long is the runway at SEM?

8,014 feet, at 150 feet wide. It carries the whole composition in the print.

What is the field elevation at SEM?

166 feet above sea level, printed small in the corner of the diagram alongside the 3W magnetic variation.

Where is SEM, and what was it before?

Four miles southeast of Selma, in Dallas County, Alabama. It was Craig Air Force Base, a pilot training installation that opened in 1940 and closed in 1977, and it is run today by the Craig Field Airport and Industrial Authority.

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

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