Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Taos'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.

Taos Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print

Taos Regional Airport works two runways that never cross, and the print is built on the gap between them. Runway 13/31 is 8,600 by 100 feet on a northwest to southeast diagonal, and runway 4/22 is 5,504 by 75 feet, starting close beside the northwest end of the long strip and angling away to the northeast. On the sheet the two read as an open V with a wide angle at its point, the long runway carrying the eye from the upper left corner toward the lower right, a short stub of it running past the junction to the 13 threshold, and the shorter runway branching up toward the apron and terminal blocks at the top. Field elevation is 7,095 feet above sea level, set in the margin, and magnetic variation is 9E.

The field opened in March 1967 as Taos Municipal Airport with a single runway, the 5,504 foot 4/22, and it stayed a one runway airport for half a century. The second runway opened on August 25, 2017, the end of an environmental review for a crosswind runway that ran from the early 1990s to a final study in 2012, and it is the reason the diagram has a long primary axis at all. The airport covers 832 acres, is owned by the Town of Taos, and sits eight nautical miles northwest of the central business district in Taos County, with the ski country above it drawing much of the traffic.

In the twelve months ending April 2022 the field recorded about 7,000 aircraft operations and 30 based aircraft. Scheduled airline service has come and gone: Trans Central Airlines flew to Albuquerque in the winter of 1968 and 1969, Mountain Air added Denver and Santa Fe in 1974 and 1975, Rio Grande Air ran Cessna Caravans out of Taos until 2004, and after a gap from 2005 scheduled flights returned in late 2018 with winter ski season service. As art the layout is left plain. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose, and the empty lower left of the sheet is simply what an 832 acre field with two spread runways looks like when nothing is added to fill it. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, printed to order.

Taos (SKX) print, common questions

How many runways does Taos Regional Airport have?

Two, and they do not intersect. Runway 13/31 is 8,600 by 100 feet in concrete and runway 4/22 is 5,504 by 75 feet in asphalt, and the print shows them at their relative angles with the shorter runway starting near the northwest end of the longer one.

What is the longest runway at SKX, and how high is the field?

Runway 13/31 at 8,600 feet is the longest. Field elevation is 7,095 feet above sea level, one of the higher public fields in the country, and that figure is printed in the margin of the diagram.

What is SKX and where is the airport?

SKX is the code for Taos Regional Airport, a public use general aviation field eight nautical miles northwest of central Taos in Taos County, New Mexico, at roughly 36.45 north, 105.67 west.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, and the angle between the two runways is drawn from the airport's published layout. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.

What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on the ground tone you choose at checkout. It reads well for pilots who have flown the high density altitude approach into Taos, for skiers who fly in for the season, and for anyone with a link to northern New Mexico.
