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 Tacoma'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.

McChord Field (Joint Base Lewis-McChord) Airport Runway Diagram Print

TCM is a two runway field, and on paper it reads as a pair of parallel lines, one very long and one very short. Runway 16/34 measures 10,108 feet by 150 feet on an asphalt and concrete surface, and it carries the whole sheet from top edge to bottom. The second runway is published as 162/342, 3,000 feet by 60 feet of asphalt, and it sits tight against the western side of the long runway, running beside only its upper half. Field elevation is 322 feet. Published magnetic variation is 15E.

That geometry is what makes McChord Field (Joint Base Lewis-McChord) work as artwork. There is no X, no V, no crossing angle to resolve: just one dark vertical stroke with a stubby twin pressed against its flank, which gives the composition a strong spine and a quiet asymmetry. Everything else is supporting pattern. Pavement fans out to the west in long apron slabs and rounded parking stands, a taxiway triangle closes off the north end near the threshold of 16, and a row of angled stubs steps down the eastern edge like tick marks on a ruler. The 34 end trails off alone at the bottom with almost nothing around it, so the eye travels the full length of the runway before it stops.

The field sits at 47.1377 N, 122.4765 W in Tacoma, Washington, south of Seattle and northeast of Olympia along the same inland corridor. The runway centerline runs close to north and south, which means the print hangs comfortably in a tall frame and lines up with the way most people picture this part of the state. Printed large, the label text on both runway ends stays legible and the apron detail holds; printed small, it still reads cleanly as one bold line on an open ground.

Tacoma (TCM) print, common questions

How many runways does TCM have, and how long are they?

Two. Runway 16/34 is 10,108 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt and concrete surface, and runway 162/342 is 3,000 feet long and 60 feet wide asphalt. Both appear on the print, drawn in proportion to one another.

Where is McChord Field, and what is its elevation?

It is in Tacoma, Washington, at 47.1377 N, 122.4765 W, with a field elevation of 322 feet. Those coordinates and the elevation are printed under the identifier in the lower corner of the artwork.

What does TCM mean, and why is KTCM not on the print?

TCM is the three letter identifier for McChord Field (Joint Base Lewis-McChord); KTCM is the four letter ICAO version of the same field. The artwork uses the short form because three characters set cleanly at display size.

How accurate is the layout?

The diagram is plotted from published airport information, so runway designators, relative lengths, widths and orientation follow the published layout. It is composed as artwork rather than as a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Surface markings, lighting symbols and small structures are the usual examples.

What sizes and finishes can I get?

This airport is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. The long north to south runway suits a portrait orientation, so a taller size flatters the layout. Physical pieces are made to order; the digital option is a file.

Does this work as a gift?

Yes, particularly for someone with a connection to this field or to the South Sound. The identifier, city, state, coordinates and elevation are set as a caption block, so the piece names the place plainly without needing explanation. Choose the colorway you want and pick a size that fits the wall.
