The field itself

This is Tucson'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.

Tucson International Airport Runway Diagram Print

Tucson International works with two runways, and the print draws both of them. The long one, 12/30, is 10,996 feet by 150 feet of asphalt. The crosswind strip, 4/22, is 7,000 feet by 150 feet, also asphalt. Field elevation is 2,643 feet, set in small type under the TUS block in the lower corner along with the coordinates.

On a wall the pair reads as two dark diagonals laid over a quiet grey web of taxiways and ramp. Runway 4/22 comes in from the left edge and climbs toward the upper right. Runway 12/30 starts just short of it and runs the long way down toward the lower right, the single heaviest stroke in the whole composition. The two lines pass close to each other near the top of the frame without crossing, so this layout never makes an X. It stays a splayed, shallow pair, one line long and one short, with the built area gathered above them and the bottom left of the sheet left open. That emptiness is doing real work: it gives the long diagonal somewhere to travel.

There is history folded into that shape. Tucson opened the first municipally owned airport in the United States in 1919, and the authority that runs the present field, the Tucson Airport Authority, was created in 1948. In 1987 the airport lengthened its primary runway by a half mile to the southeast for noise abatement, which is the same direction the long stroke reaches on this print. Military flying started here in 1956, when the Arizona Air National Guard activated the 152d Fighter Interceptor Squadron. In 1981 Eastern Airlines was running Airbus A300 service from Tucson to Atlanta with an en route stop in Phoenix. The long runway also carried the designator 11L/29R before it was renumbered 12/30, and the crosswind runway was renumbered 4/22 from 3/21, so the numbers you see printed at the thresholds are the current ones.

Tucson (TUS) print, common questions

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

Two. Runway 12/30 is 10,996 feet long and 150 feet wide, and runway 4/22 is 7,000 feet long and 150 feet wide. Both surfaces are asphalt, and both appear on the print with their designators at the ends.

How high is the field at TUS?

2,643 feet above sea level. That elevation is printed in the lower corner of the sheet beneath the identifier, next to the coordinates 32.1171 N and 110.9415 W.

What does TUS stand for and where is the airport?

TUS is the identifier for Tucson International, in Tucson, Arizona. It is a civil-military airport owned by the city of Tucson, about 8 miles south of downtown Tucson in Pima County.

Why do the two runways on this print not form an X?

Because they never intersect. On the sheet, 4/22 rises from the left edge toward the upper right while 12/30 begins just clear of it and runs down toward the lower right, so the two dark lines come near each other and then go their separate ways.

Is the print accurate to the published layout?

It is plotted from published airport information for cycle 2608, so the runway designators, lengths in proportion and angles on the sheet follow that data. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out for the sake of the composition.

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

It is printed to order in a range of sizes and in the colorway you choose, so you can scale it to a hallway or a desk shelf. For anyone who learned to fly out of Tucson, commuted through the terminal for years, or just wants the desert field on a wall, the two crossing angles read clearly from across a room.
