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 Valdez'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.

Valdez Pioneer Field Runway Diagram Print

Valdez Pioneer Field prints as one runway and nothing else competing for the eye. Runway 6/24 measures 6,500 by 150 feet, and the drawing sets it as a dark bar on a long diagonal, starting low at the left and rising toward the right corner. The numerals 6 and 24 sit small and light at either end of the pavement. Field elevation, 128 feet, is set in the lower block under the identifier.

Below the strip, a paler taxiway runs the length of the field, loops back at the left end, and widens into apron on the right. A scatter of small rectangles stands in for structures along the lower edge, which gives the composition a base and keeps the long bar from floating in the paper. The surface is asphalt in good condition per the published record, and magnetic variation at the field is listed as 19E. The result is a lean shape with a lot of open ground around it, which is why it holds up at larger sizes.

The airport is state owned, open to public use, and also carries the name Pioneer Field. It covers 836 acres. In 1975 an Alaska Airlines system timetable listed a Boeing 727-100 working this field. None of that history shows in the artwork, which stays with pavement, apron and label. The Cordova print can hang beside this one.

Valdez (VDZ) print, common questions

How many runways does Valdez Pioneer Field have?

One. Runway 6/24 is the single strip at the field, and it is the single strip in the drawing, running on a diagonal across the upper half of the artwork.

How long is the runway at VDZ?

6,500 feet long and 150 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. Those are the dimensions the drawing is proportioned to.

What is the elevation at VDZ?

128 feet above sea level. The figure is printed on the artwork beneath the coordinates, so the number reads as part of the design.

What does VDZ mean, and where is the airport?

VDZ is the identifier for Valdez Pioneer Field, in Valdez, Alaska. The identifier is set large in the lower corner of the print, with the city and state under it and the coordinates 61.1342 N, 146.2448 W below that.

Is the layout accurate to the published diagram?

The runway, taxiway and apron shapes follow published runway data for Valdez Pioneer Field, so runway 6/24 sits at its published orientation and proportion. This is still artwork rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Painted lines, approach lighting and airfield signs are the kind of thing that drops away at this scale.

What sizes and finishes can I order for the VDZ print?

Sizes run small to large, so the 6/24 diagonal can work as a quiet accent or carry a wall on its own. This airport is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print, or a Digital Download. The physical versions are produced once you order; the download arrives as a file. It travels well as a gift for anyone with a Valdez connection, since the identifier and the runway are legible from across a room.
