Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Valdosta'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.

Valdosta Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print

Two asphalt runways carry Valdosta Regional Airport, and on the diagram they converge to a sharp point at the north end of the field. Runway 18/36 is the long one at 8,003 by 150 feet, dropping almost straight down the frame with only a slight lean, and 04/22 is 5,598 by 100 feet, angling away to the southwest from that same shared corner. What the eye gets is a narrow letter A: two dark strips pinched together at the top, a wide open wedge below them, and lighter taxiway lines crossing that wedge on their way between the pavement and the apron blocks gathered along the eastern edge. Field elevation is 203 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 5W, so the plotted headings sit a few degrees off true north.

The airport opened in April 1940 and was taken over by the United States Army Air Corps the following year. Through World War II it served as an auxiliary airfield for Moody Army Airfield, supporting the Army pilot training school, and the wartime name Valdosta Army Auxiliary Airfield still sits alongside the civil one. Control went back to civilian hands at the end of the war. The field covers 760 acres about three nautical miles south of the Valdosta business district in Lowndes County, and it is owned by the Valdosta-Lowndes County Airport Authority.

The long runway was completed in the summer of 2007, and at that point only Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport had longer civil runways anywhere in Georgia. That length is what gives the print its spine, and the rest of the layout is left to answer it quietly. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, while taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions rather than a navigation document, printed to order at a size that reads across a room and still holds up close.

Valdosta (VLD) print, common questions

How many runways does Valdosta Regional Airport have?

Two. Runway 18/36 is 8,003 by 150 feet and runway 04/22 is 5,598 by 100 feet. Both are asphalt, and both are plotted from the airport's published layout, meeting near the north end of the field.

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

The longest is runway 18/36 at 8,003 feet. Field elevation is 203 feet above sea level, and that figure is set in the margin of the print.

What does VLD stand for and where is the airport?

VLD is the IATA code for Valdosta Regional Airport, about three nautical miles south of the Valdosta business district in Lowndes County, Georgia, at roughly 30.78 north, 83.28 west.

Why do the two runways look like a letter A on the print?

Because that is close to how they sit. The long 18/36 strip and the shorter 04/22 strip come together near one end and open out from there, and the taxiway and apron linework fills the space between them. 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 can I get, and does this work as a gift?

Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It suits anyone who learned to fly in south Georgia, flew in and out of Valdosta, or has a connection to the wartime training field it grew from.
