U.S. Virgin Islands airport map prints
The U.S. Virgin Islands have two airports for their three main islands, and each is a single runway with the Caribbean on both ends. Henry E. Rohlsen on St. Croix, near Christiansted, keeps a 10,002 foot runway at 73 feet, the longer of the two, laid east and west across the island. Cyril E. King on St. Thomas, at Charlotte Amalie, runs 7,000 feet at 24 feet on the same heading, its single strip taking the narrow flat ground between the harbor and the hills. St. John has no airport of its own and is reached by water. Both fields are island fields in the fullest sense: every approach crosses open sea, the runway follows the shoreline, and the terrain rises close behind the pavement, which is why each one makes such a clear, simple print.

Flying in U.S. Virgin Islands
Flying in the Virgin Islands is short over-water legs between the islands and long ones to the mainland, with trade winds and one runway per island. A print of St. Croix or St. Thomas is a single line and a great deal of implied sea. Published airport information guides each composition's relative runway lengths and bearings, with fine details simplified for wall art.
