Wake Island airport map prints
Wake Island is a low coral atoll with three islands around a lagoon. Wake Island Airfield occupies Wake, the largest of the three. Its single asphalt runway stretches across a narrow arm of land. The field's ocean setting makes the long journey over water part of its distinctive airport geography.

Flying in Wake Island
Flying at Wake is a long over-water leg to get there and an approach that crosses nothing but sea. A print of Wake Island Airfield is a single long line, alone on the sheet the way the field is alone in the ocean. Published airport information guides each composition's relative runway lengths and bearings, with fine details simplified for wall art.
