Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Lompoc'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.

Vandenberg Space Force Base Runway Diagram Print

Vandenberg Space Force Base runs on one runway, and it is a long one: 12/30, 15,000 ft from end to end and 200 ft wide, surfaced in grooved concrete. Field elevation is 368 ft. The published magnetic variation here is 12E. One strip, no crossing runway, no second parallel: the whole field is organized around a single line of pavement.

That is what makes the print work. The runway falls as one dark bar straight across the sheet, entering at the upper left where the 12 end is marked and leaving at the lower right where 30 is marked, with the designators set into the pavement at each threshold. A taxiway runs a long loop off one side of it, rejoining near both ends, and a small knot of apron and building shapes sits partway down that loop. Everything else is open ground. On a wall, the composition reads as a single confident diagonal with a lot of quiet around it, which is unusual: most airport diagrams are a tangle, and this one is a stroke.

The field sits at Lompoc, California, at 34.7373 N, 120.5843 W, and the print carries those coordinates and the 368 ft elevation under the VBG callout. Pilots and anyone who knows this stretch of coast will recognize the shape immediately, and it hangs well next to the busier layouts nearby, Santa Maria with its multiple runways or San Luis Obispo further up the road. Composed from published airport information and offered in the colorway you choose, it suits an office wall, a hangar, or a hallway that needs one strong line.

Lompoc (VBG) print, common questions

How many runways does Vandenberg Space Force Base have?

One. Runway 12/30 is the only runway at VBG, and it is the single line you see on the print.

How long is the runway at VBG?

15,000 ft long and 200 ft wide, with a grooved concrete surface. That length is why the runway spans nearly the full diagonal of the artwork.

Where is VBG and how high is the field?

Vandenberg Space Force Base is at Lompoc, California, at 34.7373 N, 120.5843 W, with a field elevation of 368 ft. VBG is the three-letter identifier for the field and it is printed large at the lower right of the artwork.

How accurate is the layout in this airport map print?

The diagram is plotted from published runway data for VBG: one runway, 12/30, at its published length, width and orientation, with the taxiway loop and apron shapes generalized for print. This is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and small signage are the usual examples.

What sizes and finishes does this come in?

It is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print, or a Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order in the size and the colorway you choose; the digital option is a file you download.

Is this a good gift for someone connected to VBG?

It works well for anyone who has flown, worked or trained at the field, because the single 15,000 ft runway is instantly recognizable to them and reads as clean graphic art to everyone else. Framed and metal options make it ready to hang straight away.
