Delaware airport map prints

Delaware is flat, low and short, a coastal plain between the Delaware River and the Atlantic, so its airports are few and none of them sits above 80 feet. Dover Air Force Base holds the long runway: 12,903 feet on 14/32 with a 9,602 foot second runway, at 29 feet. Wilmington Airport at New Castle, up near the Pennsylvania line, lays three paved runways, the longest 7,275 feet, at 80 feet. Delaware Coastal at Georgetown pairs 5,500 feet with a 3,109 foot crosswind at 53 feet, Summit at Middletown keeps a 4,488 foot paved runway beside a turf one, and Delaware Airpark near Dover runs 4,201 feet. With no hills to speak of, the shape of each field comes from wind and property lines rather than terrain, and the whole state can be flown end to end in under an hour.

Flying in Delaware

Flying in Delaware is low and level, with the bay on one side and the ocean on the other, and the airports sit on farmland a few feet above the tide line. Dover's long military runways and Wilmington's three-runway civil layout make the two strongest prints. Published airport information guides each composition's relative runway lengths and bearings, with fine details simplified for wall art.
