Materials
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.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Adak Island'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.

Adak Airport Runway Diagram Print
Adak Airport works a single runway, 05/23, at 7,790 by 200 feet, and the print is built around that one line. Field elevation is 20 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 7E, so the plotted heading sits a little off true north. In the drawing the runway crosses the sheet as one long shallow diagonal from lower left to upper right, with the numbers 5 and 23 set at its ends. Under it a paler band of pavement runs nearly north to south for much of the height of the drawing, meeting the runway about a third of the way along from the 5 end, and short connectors, apron shapes and a handful of building footprints are strung along its eastern side.
The field started as a military air station. The U.S. Navy built the airport for naval air transport, and during World War II Adak Army Airfield took part in the Aleutian Campaign against Japanese forces occupying Attu and Kiska. After the war the field went to the Air Force until 1950 and then back to the Navy, which ran an antisubmarine warfare base here and later flew P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft from the island against Soviet submarines and surface ships. As many as 5,000 American personnel lived on the base during the Cold War, many of them with families. The Navy closed the naval air facility on 31 March 1997, and in 2004 a large part of the former military property passed to the Aleut Corporation and became a National Wildlife Refuge.
Long ocean routes found the island early: in 1946 Pan American flew Seattle to Tokyo by way of Adak to show a great circle crossing of the Pacific would work, and Reeve Aleutian Airways linked the island with Anchorage from the late 1940s until 2000, when the airline ceased operations. On the wall the empty ground does as much work as the pavement, because one runway and its apron sit alone in a wide frame. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry, and the linework sits over the ground tone you choose. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, printed to order at a size that carries across a room and still rewards standing close.
Adak Island (ADK) print, common questions
How many runways does Adak Airport have?
One. Runway 05/23 is 7,790 by 200 feet with an asphalt surface. A second runway, 18/36, was permanently closed in the fall of 2015, and only 05/23 carries designators on the print.
What is the longest runway at ADK, and how high is the field?
The longest and only runway is 05/23 at 7,790 feet. Field elevation is 20 feet above sea level, which is set in the margin of the print alongside the coordinates.
What does ADK stand for and where is the airport?
ADK is the IATA code for Adak Airport, a state-owned public-use field west of the community of Adak on Adak Island, in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, at roughly 51.88 north, 176.64 west.
Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?
The designators, length and width of runway 05/23 come from published airport information for the field, and the taxiway and apron shapes are drawn from the airport's published layout. 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 select at checkout. It lands well with anyone who flew the Aleutian run, served at the naval air facility, or has spent a winter on the island.
